The Secretary General of the Botswana National Union of  Students, Blessing  Lechane says the nomination for the award is a result of the visit to Botswana by  the All Africa Students Union Secretary General and his team in April this year where he made an assessment of the Botswana national union of students’ programmes, including their interventions during strikes in  schools, their community outreach programmes, mass media interactions, among others.
