Africa-Press – Botswana. Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) affiliate, Botswana People’s Party (BPP) has rescinded its suspension against party secretary-general (SG) Tiroeaone Ntsima and Gabadirelwe Kamalanga.
Earlier this year, Ntsima was grossly suspended alongside Kamalanga after the Central Committee (CC) got wind that the now Minister of Trade and Entrepreneurship was vying for the presidential seat.
Motlatsi Molapisi, aged 8,1, who has been appointed as the political presidential advisor to Duma Boko, has been occupying the presidential seat of the party for many years.
One of the grounds of the suspension was that the two were also pushing for the party to head to its elective congress, which has not been held in many years.
In a statement released today, the party stated that following the inter-disciplinary measures between the party and suspended members, the parties have smoked the peace pipe.
“BPP wishes to inform its members and the public that the CC has successfully concluded internal disciplinary matters involving Ntsima and Kamalanga,” read the statement.
“The committee has accepted their apologies and extended conditional pardons in the spirit of renewal and unity, while reaffirming the party’s uncompromising stance on discipline and accountability,” read the statement from party spokesperson Mantlha Sankoloba.
Sankoloba highlighted that the revolutionary movement is built on integrity and respect and that the party believes in corrective action that strengthens the collective, not that weakens it.
“The resolution marks a positive step forward in consolidating internal cohesion as the party continues its revival efforts across the country. The BPP remains committed to fairness, order and the rule of internal democracy,” the Sankoloba emphasised in the statement.
