Some members of the Botswana Defence Force (BDF) have taken their Commander to court over the reduction of their salaries and unpaid benefits.

Before then, applicants enjoyed increased salaries, entitlement to housing, scare skills and professional allowances owing to their respective qualifications in Diploma in Accounting and Business Studies.
