Balopi Starts On A Wrong Footing

The newly-elected Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) secretary general, Mpho Balopi has surely started on a wrong footing with his first public comments on a sensitive national issue, the public workers’ delayed back pays.

Balopi is quoted undermining the public sector union federation, BOFEPUSU, painting them as an entity that is about to benefit, allegedly from a BDP congress resolution in Tonota, that amongst others according to Balopi, resolved to pay public servants’ back pays immediately.
