Workers politics, politics of society-Dipogiso

Having played a crucial role during his student politics days, former chairman and Information and Publicity Minister of the then MASS-BNF cell at the University of Botswana says serving workers' interests is his next calling.

Twenty-five-year-old Keaoleboga Dipogiso, a graduate of Political and Administrative studies at UB who is campaigning for the position of secretary in the international relations office of the Botswana Land Board, Local Authorities and Health Workers Union (BLLAHWU), says workers should be at liberty to take their issues outside the workplace. This, he says, can only be attained if they could understand the cornerstones of Unionism in three folds; setting the workers' agenda, participation in circular politics and developing cross border strategies in advocating for workers' rights.

His campaign message calls for embracing international thoughts and ILO's Conventions to unionism in Botswana. He is notorious for one thing - organising masses of people and shaping their issues into progressive struggles.
