State media a disgrace

The only time they report on the strike is when government officials speak on the crippling walkout. The unions have not been given any opportunity to air their views on the strike.  In fact, at one point when the unions were presenting a petition to the Minister for Presidential Affairs and Public Administration, Mokgweetsi Masisi, the Btv crew was chased away by the unionists.  Their argument was that Btv has not been covering their activities and they were only there because 'their' minister was involved.

This seems to be something that has been agreed at the Mass Media Complex because the same thing applies to the two Radio Botswana (RB) stations as well as the Daily News.
