In a recorded voice clip, Mokhants\u030co is heard accusing Ts\u030cotetsi of being an opportunist who defected from the All Basotho Convention (ABC) party to enjoy benefits from the DC.<\/p>\n<p>Immediately after her defection from the ABC three years ago, Ts\u030cotetsi was appointed a personal aide for the then Sports Minister Likeleli Tampane, a move that infuriated some DC supporters.<\/p>\n<p>They said Ts\u030cotetsi was a newcomer who was snatching jobs from DC supporters. In the voice clip, Ts\u030cotetsi fires back saying she was personally deployed by the minister.<\/p>\n<p>Ts\u030cotetsi confirmed to thepost this week that she had been summoned for a disciplinary hearing. She however declined to comment further insisting that party leader, Mathibeli Mokhothu, had instructed them not to talk to the press.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy leader told us not to respond to the media about this issue,\u201d Ts\u030cotetsi said. The DC\u2019s secretary general, Ts\u030citso Cheba, said they called the two to clarify why they were having a conflict.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a norm that in our party, we call members for a disciplinary (hearing) if they tarnish the image of the party,\u201d Cheba said.<\/p>\n<p>Cheba said the two women were \u201cinsulting each other with terrible insults that embarrassed the party\u201d. \u201cIt was not right for the women to go on social media platforms hurling insults (at each other),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that \u201cthe insults are unlawful and uncalled for especially when done by women\u201d. \u201cAll the members belong to the party, it is right for the party to intervene where need be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Ts\u030cotetsi is popular on call-in radio programmes where she goes all out to defend the DC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
