BOPEU�s Housing Project Progressive

According to the story, the union would be building 500 units on a five-hectare plot. The agreement for BOPEU Estates has reportedly been concluded between the partners. Apparently the houses would be built at half the market price. The largest public sector union has already concluded mortgage deals with BancABC to finance their members to acquire houses.

This is a progressive move by BOPEU and should be applauded by all. Union members belonging to different labour movements in Botswana are always crying that they do not get favour for their subscription fees. The members only get to enjoy their subscriptions when they are dead.
