The allegedly suspended BOPEU president, Masego Mogwera, has called for an NEC meeting today to discuss the general secretary and deputy secretary general’s contracts, forensic audit, impending court cases, involvement of staff in union politics and union board representation. Mogwera and the general secretary, Topias Marenga, were kicked out of union office last week pending investigation.
