Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>The Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) Mogoditshane branch committee has passed a motion of no confidence against its branch chairperson, Percy Tshuba on Wednesday this week.<\/p>\n

A meeting that took the decision is alleged to have been convened without the branch chairperson\u2019s knowledge and it intended to take him out as he is said to be anti-Member of Parliament for the area, Tumiso Rakgare.<\/p>\n

Insiders at Mogoditshane told Mmegi that Mogoditshane is currently divided into two factions, one being pro-Rakgare and the other for Tshuba. Mmegi has reliably been informed that those who attended the meeting were supporters of Rakgare.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was just a factional meeting which was illegal. It is time the party acts on these issues because they are dividing our constituency even more. What is surprising is that the branch committee decided to appoint the deputy branch chairperson Mogomotsi Motlhagodi who still has a pending case before the party disciplinary committee after Ledumadumane chairperson Tshuba registered one against him,\u201d the insider said.<\/p>\n

Mogoditshane branch secretary, Pongo Kamanga who called the urgent meeting claimed that she was not aware of, \u201cwhat you are talking about\u201d when questioned in an interview. However, Kweneng regional secretary, Obakeng Kgabo confirmed that indeed they were aware of the meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true they had informed the region about their meeting. I am still waiting for them to bring the letter to me as they had informed me over the phone. I can\u2019t say much since I have not received the letter,\u201d Kgabo said.<\/p>\n

For his part, Tshuba confirmed that he has heard about the issue of a motion of no confidence against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an unfortunate situation and as far as I am concerned, the meeting was illegal and I am still the branch chairperson for Mogoditshane branch committee. I have written the letter to the region and hoping they will act as per the party constitution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

For his part, BDP secretary-general, Mpho Balopi said although he is not aware of the issue or any correspondence of such nature, \u201cthere is nothing like motion of no confidence in the party constitution\u201d. \u201cWe do not have such a clause which calls for motion of no confidence in our constitution. Our system is clear and is not similar to that of opposition parties,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne needs to write a letter of complaint to the party central committee or the party if someone has done something wrong. Then, the process of disciplinary hearing will then follow and one can be suspended by the party President pending disciplinary hearing for 60 days.\u201d<\/p>\n
