BOPEU must reconcile and move on

Friday, June 25, 2021

The Botswana Public Employees Union’s (BOPEU) warring factions, led by Masego Mogwera and Olefile Monakwe respectively, are not interested in reconciliation. This is despite efforts by general membership to have the two groups to reconcile. The BOPEU members’ calls come after a prolonged power struggle that has left the union in disarray.

It is a lengthy, tiring and costly exercise that has been going on for years. Both parties argue they will fight all the way to the end, as they claim it is for the benefit of the membership. It is now that time when the two leaders and their comrades must deliver. For Mogwera, it is for her to ensure that she does as members wish and gets the house in order.

On the other hand, Monakwe should be able to hand over to Mogwera and support her just like all other BOPEU members.
