BFTU fights for its life :: Mmegi Online

Some affiliates of the Botswana Federation of Trade Unions (BFTU) have been involved in a war of words with the federation and there does not appear to be a compromise in sight. CHANDAPIWA BAPUTAKI draws the detail out of the leading spokespersons of the BFTU, secretary general, Gadzani Mhotsha and Edward Tswaipe, the information, publicity and international affairs manager

Mmegi: What is the problem with the BFTU?

Mhotsha: It is going to be difficult to know where to start but I think things got clearer after the April congress. We immediately received letters from the BTU, BOSETU, and at a later stage, BLLAWU indicating that they are suspending their subscriptions, citing as their main issue lack of availing audited financial statements during the congress. It is difficult to state where it started because there are other things that happened before, some happening inside the BFTU while some happened outside.
