New faces to dominate at FCC after 2014 election :: Mmegi Online

FRANCISTOWN: Whether the next sitting of the Francistown City councilors will be fireworks, or a damp squib remains to be seen after it has emerged that a majority of old faces will have given way to new ones.

When the maiden council meeting takes place after the 2014 general elections at the Civic Centre a significant number of councillors currently serving their terms will not be present due to a number of factors.No more will we witness the acrimonious exchanges that characterised the previous council sittings when the likes of Tabengwa Tabengwa and his nemesis Ignatius Moswaane used to go for each other's throat.

There is a memorable fight between the two, which was even televised on Btv when they hurled unprintables at each other over a motion they did not agree on.Even the burly, but usually reticent Professor Lazarus Tlou walked out from the chambers on a number of occasions when he thought he would not have his way with his colleagues. For sure, Satellite South councillor Buti Billy, Moswaane of Monarch South and Tlou of Itekeng ward will not be available.
