FRANCISTOWN: For several weeks the country has witnessed two bitter BPF factions, one led by Butale and another by Mephato Reatile battle for the soul and heart of the BPF. The BPF and Butale have not enjoyed relative peace ever since the latter ascended to the presidency of the party after its formation on the eve of the 2019 General Election following an acrimonious relationship between former president Ian Khama and his successor, President Mokgweetsi Masisi. Butale was once suspended by the BPF pending disciplinary hearing for allegedly sexually abusing a female party activist amongst other reasons.
