President Mokgweetsi Masisi has pulled a fast on his opponents dropping Pelonomi Venson Moitoi from the position of Minister of Local Government and Rural Development with immediate effect, just a day after she announced that she will challenge Masisi to the BDP presidency in 2019.
Masisi has replaced Venson Moitoi with Frans Solomon Van Der Westhuizen, while Konstantinos Markus has been appointed the Assistant Minister of Agricultural Development and Food Security with immediate effect.
