Botswana Nurses Union (BONU) has condemned the Ministry of Health and Wellness (MoH&W) for not taking seriously the welfare and security of health officers that include nurses and midwives.

In a press release, BOMU expressed great grief at the recent sexual assault incident on one of the nurses at Extension II Clinic in Gaborone.  They stated that the barbaric and heinous crime was committed when the particular nurse was on duty and her sole purpose being to attend to the health needs of the nation. 

“This has brought to the surface our long standing issues we have as a union brought to the employer and government on numerous occasions during consultative meetings.  The most painful thing is that these crimes are repeating and nothing has been done to stop them.  A few years ago, a young nurse in her prime years was attacked and brutally murdered when knocking off from an evening shift,” BONU secretary general, Keoopetse Paphane said.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
