Motshwarakgole slams task force's proposals

Speaking at a Public Service Unions rally held at the Gaborone Senior School grounds, Johnson Motshwarakgole said the unions will meet in the near future to talk about the recommendations, which include flogging on the bare back for disciplinary measures, the reintroduction of mephato around the country and widening jurisdiction of dikgosi over bogadi, among others.

The commission has deferred other recommendations pending consultations. The white paper has rejected recommendations to introduce a national dress code to be adopted in order to guide and provide "standards that Batswana can practice with dignity and pride within the context of our national identity" However government rejected the recommendation.
