BOFEPUSUs response to SONA

A priority to Government should be to ensure that social justice is central to achieving equitable and sustainable growth for all towards development of people as human beings. This is so because the proceeds of Botswana’s economy benefit few people whereas the many are on the margins.

That is why we have the working poor, who go to work everyday but in abject poverty, some Batswana living in the economic pains to the extent that they have become hopeless, helpless and only waiting for death to part them from the miseries and sorrows of life in this country. This is highly disturbing in a country blessed with so many natural resources ,  a rich country with poor people.
