Boardroom War Erupts At BOPEU :: Mmegi Online

The police had to be called in to whisk away five senior members of the Botswana Public Employees Union (BOPEU), including president Masego Mogwera and general secretary Topias Marenga.

The union is reportedly cash-strapped and is recently reported to be reversing salary increments they had made to their employees.

The five were on Saturday afternoon suspended from their positions at the BOPEU National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held at Cresta Lodge. Mogwera, first deputy president Martin Gabobake, Marenga, deputy secretary Kethapeleng Karabo and treasurer general Aba Gabaikhe were suspended for failure to observe articles 53.1 and 53.2 respectively, which speak of the secondment and remuneration of office bearers (president and treasurer general) as well as sanctioning the implementation of the new BOPEU structure.
