Against the tide? : Butale says a monument should be named after the late Gomolemo Motswaledi

In an unexpected turn of events, Botswana Democratic Party legislators will meet today to caucus over a planned motion by their Tati West MP, Biggie Butale, who wants a national monument named in honour of late opposition icon Gomolemo Motswaledi.
