BOPEU have successfully halted a Khama style para-military bootcamp where over 300 of its members working as instructors at various technical and vocational institutions(TVET) were subjected to harsh military exercises at a training base in Matsiloje in recent weeks.

Under the Khama regime, the young people would be subjected to military style trainings led by the army and conducted in far-flung areas away from the prying eyes of the media or the public.
