Union leaders vow to educate strikers on media tolerance

In Francistown for instance, reporter Patricia Maganu and photographer Karabo Sename had to drive away speedily as they were pursued by an angry group of strikers who accused them of being members of the Directorate of Intelligence Services (DIS).

Ironically, someone who knows them very well but was content with setting up a scene initiated the attack on them. The duo of Maganu and Sename were not even given a chance to meet the union regional leadership to possibly rescue them from the attacking unionists. As they were chased away, accusations like, "you are spies, what do you want here!" were hauled at them. The car they were travelling in was pushed, lifted and pounded on as they drove away.
