BLLAHWU fires its president

One of the country’s largest public sector unions, the Botswana Land Boards Local Authorities and Health Workers Union (BLLAHWU) has sunk into division after the dismissal of its president, who in turn claims his rivals do not have the power to take such a decision.

Yesterday the union applied for an urgent court order following the refusal by president Samuel Kedise to accede to the expulsion for allegedly not paying his subscriptions.  The matter is set before Lobatse High Court judge, Godfrey Nthomiwa.
