Reatile
Reatile is a prominent political figure in Botswana, currently serving as the president of the Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF). He has been in the news recently for his controversial decision to withdraw the BPF from the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) ahead of the last general election, a move he claims was driven by the overwhelming support and demand from BPF members. As he prepares to defend his presidency at the upcoming elective congress on November 1 in Serowe, Reatile emphasizes the importance of member consultation in key decisions, asserting that his leadership is reflective of the party's collective will.
