The Botswana People's Party BPP is preparing for a leadership forum this weekend at Tati Siding to strengthen its position within the Umbrella for Democratic Change UDC. The forum, themed "Reviving the BPP, Building Structures and Strengthening the Foundation," aims to enhance the party's influence and relevance following the appointment of four senior BPP representatives to the UDC leadership. BPP secretary-general Mmantlha Sankoloba stated that the forum will bring together the central committee, regional leadership, and key stakeholders to assess, reorganize, and set the party's strategic direction. The BPP intends to consolidate its role as a credible partner within the coalition, focusing on deploying qualified members to the UDC secretariat to ensure effective participation in decision-making and policy coherence. Key objectives include a post-election assessment of the 2024 General Election, strategic coalition positioning, preparedness for the upcoming Tati Siding by-election, approval of a congress roadmap for 2026, and the launch of activities commemorating the BPP's 65th anniversary. The BPP central committee will also finalize internal disciplinary proceedings and a five-year strategic framework for 2026–2031, which will be unveiled at the forum. This renewed focus on strategy and structure indicates the BPP's commitment to remaining a key player within the UDC.

Must ReadTshepo Pilane, a former senior official at the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime DCEC, is demanding state protection and a thorough investigation into alleged death threats he has received. Pilane's concerns for his personal safety are central to his planned legal action against the government and several public officials. This follows his transfer from the anti-corruption unit to the Botswana Defence Force BDF. In a recent notice of intention to sue, Pilane asserts that authorities have not adequately investigated the threats against him or the alleged leakage of confidential information, which he believes put him at risk.
A state witness, Junior Malibela, testified in the Village Magistrate’s Court against Goitsekgosi Mojadigo, a pastor already serving a 20-year sentence for rape. Malibela detailed how Mojadigo allegedly sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl in Francistown. Malibela, who lived in the complainant's house, described seeing Mojadigo caress the minor, touch her breasts, thighs, and tummy, and call her “Spoonokie.” He recounted an instance where Mojadigo sent the girl's mother to the shops, then asked the girl to bathe and later to massage him with Vaseline in a closed room. Malibela stated these acts occurred multiple times and that he witnessed them directly. During cross-examination, Mojadigo questioned Malibela on whether he ever caught them in a compromising position, reported his suspicions, or if the complainant ever told him she was being raped, to which Malibela answered no to all. The trial is set to continue on July 14.
