BOKO ARRIVES IN MAUN TO WELCOME MBULAWA INTO UDC

President of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), Duma Boko, has arrived in Maun to officially welcome Reaboka Mbulawa, one of the prominent political figures in the North West region, who resigned from the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) last year to join the ruling coalition.

Mbulawa’s defection is expected to significantly boost the UDC’s presence in the region, with more than 1,000 of his loyalists anticipated to follow him into the party.

MMELERI JOINS UDC

Former Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) council candidate Mpho Mmeleri has officially resigned from the party and joined the Botswana National Front (BNF), a key partner within the ruling coalition, the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC).

Mmeleri previously contested in the BDP primary elections for the Bodibeng–Bothatogo ward, where he was defeated. Despite the loss, he remained active and visible within the community, maintaining a notable presence in local affairs.

His move to the UDC is expected to trigger a wave of defections, particularly from BDP members who have been aligned with him at community level. UDC insiders say more members from the former ruling party are anticipated to follow.

MAUN COMMUNITY URGED TO CLEAN UP OLD MALL

Community activist Alexandra Heii has called on residents of Maun particularly those operating at the Old Mall stalls to unite and clean up the area, which he says has become one of the dirtiest parts of the village.

Heii appealed to stall owners and the broader community to take responsibility for maintaining cleanliness, noting that the litter problem has worsened in recent months.

He emphasized that a cleaner environment would not only benefit public health but also improve the image of Maun as a tourism hub.

He further urged the North West District Council (NWDC) to support the initiative by providing plastic bags, gloves, and other essential cleaning materials to enable the community-led clean-up campaign.

UDC CONFIRMS BOKO WILL BE IN MAUN TO WELCOME MBULAWA

The Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) has confirmed that its president, Duma Boko, will be in Maun on Saturday to welcome one of the North West region’s political heavyweights, Reaboka Mbulawa.

Mbulawa joined the UDC last year after resigning from the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), which had barred him from contesting in the 2024 general elections for the Maun East constituency.

Boko is expected to officially receive Mbulawa and his supporters during the event, which is anticipated to draw a large crowd as the UDC strengthens its presence in the North West District.

MMESO PAYS TRIBUTE TO GODFREY MPUSE

The President of the Botswana Media and Allied Workers Union (BOMAWU), Phillimon Mmeso, has paid tribute to veteran photojournalist Godfrey Mpuse, who passed away today after a long illness.

In a heartfelt message shared on social media, Mmeso described Mpuse as a towering figure in the media industry.

“The media industry has lost a giant. Godfrey Mpuse, one of the finest photojournalists Botswana and Africa have ever produced, has passed on, leaving the entire media fraternity in deep shock and pain — re khikhiane maikutlo, mewa e kotometse!” he wrote.

Mmeso said Mpuse was more than just a man behind the lens; he was a master storyteller who captured history, leaders, and the spirit of the nation with exceptional brilliance. He added that Mpuse inspired many young aspiring photojournalists, proving that “excellence, humility, and dedication can coexist.”

Known for his gentle nature and professionalism, Mpuse often let his powerful images speak on his behalf.

Mmeso concluded his tribute with comforting words for his family, saying he hoped they would find strength in the immense impact Mpuse made on Botswana’s media landscape.

“Itheeditse namane e tona.”

BOKO TO LEAD MAJOR WELCOME FOR MBULAWA AND HIS LOYALISTS

President of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), Advocate Duma Boko, is set to officially welcome North West political heavyweight Reaboka Mbulawa into the ruling coalition following his resignation from the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP). More than 1,000 of Mbulawa’s loyalists are expected to join the UDC alongside him.

Mbulawa confirmed in an interview that the welcome event will take place next Saturday at the Park View open space in Maun.

He added that a major victory celebration will follow later that night at the stadium, running throughout the night.

He said senior UDC leaders are expected to attend, describing the gathering as one of the coalition’s biggest events since its election victory and possibly the first major UDC event in Maun/Ngamiland after the polls.

A significant number of Mbulawa’s supporters from the Maun East constituency, many of whom are BDP members, are expected to cross over with him.

“Most people in Maun, especially in Maun East, were not happy with the events of last year. Many either did not vote or voted for the then opposition as a protest against the BDP,” Mbulawa said. “Most of them have already registered with the BNF or other parties under the UDC umbrella.”

He added that his supporters have always aligned themselves with his political trajectory.

“The majority are either coming with me following the leader, as they put it or they remain loyal to my course. It does not matter where I go; they still believe they are within my political base,” he said.

The event is expected to mark a major political shift in Maun East and further consolidate the UDC’s growing influence in the region.

NGAMILAND FARMERS DEMAND BETTER PRICES FOR DIRECT CATTLE PURCHASE SCHEME

Ngamiland farmers have appealed to the Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) to revise and increase the proposed prices under the Direct Cattle Purchase Scheme, an initiative through which BMC intends to buy cattle directly from farmers based on live weight.

The Secretary of the Ngamiland Agricultural Management Association (NAMA), Hureva Tjavanga, said while farmers welcome the initiative, they are not satisfied with the proposed price of P16 per kilogram.

Tjavanga revealed that farmers in the region are already receiving more attractive offers from private buyers in Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), who are willing to pay between P25 and P30 per kilogram for live weight.

He said given these competitive regional market prices, BMC should reconsider its offer and at least increase the rate to P20 per kilogram to make the scheme viable and beneficial for farmers.

BODIBENG MINERS GIVE BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY

A group of Bodibeng residents employed at Khoemacau Copper Mine and Sandfire mines and their subcontractors have come together to give back to their village through various community initiatives.

The group, known as Bodibeng Miners Workers, is made up of more than 30 miners who pool their resources to support local development. This year, the miners contributed funds towards the Prize Giving Ceremony at Bodibeng Primary School, helping ensure the event’s success.

Representing the group at the ceremony, Mpho Silver Mmeleri delivered a message of encouragement to the students. Mmeleri has previously supported the school individually, including donating sanitary pads last year.

The miners say they are committed to continuing their efforts to uplift the Bodibeng community.

BMC ENGAGES NAMA ON DIRECT CATTLE PURCHASE SCHEME, PRICE DISPUTE PERSISTS

The Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) yesterday held a dialogue with the Ngamiland Agricultural Management Association (NAMA) in Sehithwa to discuss the Direct Cattle Purchase Scheme and the future of the beef industry in Ngamiland.

The meeting followed a letter from NAMA rejecting the P16 per kilogram price proposed by the BMC for cattle purchases. During the engagement, NAMA reiterated its position, insisting that the price be raised to P20 per kilogram to make cattle sales viable for farmers.

Farmers welcomed the introduction of the Direct Cattle Purchase Scheme but expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of prior consultation, urging the BMC to involve stakeholders before making key decisions.

Responding to the concerns, BMC representatives acknowledged the farmers’ frustrations and assured them that management would reconvene to review the pricing issue. The Commission committed to providing feedback once internal discussions are concluded.
