Yesterday afternoon, the Botswana Federation of Public Private Parastatal Sector Unions (BOFEPUSU) through Advocate Duma Boko called on Gaongalelwe to step down, saying he was affected by the recent landmark judgement on the appointment of CoA judges.

In that matter, the Manual Workers Union, a member of BOFEPUSU, successfully  challenged President Ian Khama on his appointment of the CoA judges. The Union argued that no Judge should be reappointed after a fixed term.
