VAVI speech at BOPEU congress

Any attempt to interpret trade union independence to mean that workers must divorce themselves from the politics of the country will not only be reactionary but counterproductive.

Our very DNA as workers is politics. Every demand and every campaign we take up is political and ideologically inspired. No one can divorce workers from both local, national and global politics, There is no room for neutrality in particular in a class divided societies Botswana included.
