Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>The Paramount Chief of BaLete, Kgosi Mosadi Seboko II, has rubbished claims that she requested to step down as Botswana\u2019s representative at the Pan-African Parliament.<\/b><\/p>\n

This follows a vote in Parliament \u2013 led by the numerically preponderant Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) \u2013 to end her role as the country\u2019s representative at the African Parliament on Tuesday afternoon this week.<\/p>\n

The Sovereign of BaLete was axed as she attended the Pan African Parliament in the very role that she purportedly wanted to quit.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a lie\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThat is rubbish,\u201d said a fuming Kgosi Mosadi last night. \u201cI am at the Pan African Parliament as we speak. I have never said to anyone that I want to resign. It is a lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Speaker of the National Assembly, Phandu Skelemani, told Parliament yesterday that he was informed by an unidentified MP that Kgosi Mosadi had informed him that she wanted to step down as Botswana\u2019s representative at the Pan African Parliament.<\/p>\n

Misleading Parliament <\/b><\/p>\n

Despite protestations by opposition MPs that the Speaker should not to act on the basis information from an unnamed third party rather than a letter from Kgosi Mosadi herself, Skelemani maintained that the information he had received was credible and factual and that Parliament had to decide on it as a matter of urgency.<\/p>\n

Whereupon the MP for Okavango, Kenny Kapinga accused the Speaker of misleading Parliament.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have done my investigation and what I have established is that Kgosi Seboko has never said to anyone that she wants to step down (from the Pan Africa Parliament),\u201d he said. \u201cSo, the Speaker has misled Parliament.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forest Hill Farm<\/b><\/p>\n

In the end, 24 MPs of the BDP voted to remove Kgosi Mosadi from the Pan African Parliament against the opposition\u2019s 16 votes.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, observers believe that this was punishment for Kgosi Mosadi\u2019s spirited determination to win the Forest Hill Farm that the government sought to dispossess BaLete of.<\/p>\n

The Court of Appeal ruled only last week that the BaLete are the rightful owners of Forest Hill Farm.<\/p>\n
