GSS grounds a symbol of unity

One, two, three passers-by walk across the grounds, solitary across the vast red dust.   It is business as usual once again at the Gaborone Secondary School sports and recreational grounds. One would be hard-pressed, looking at the grounds today, to believe that just days ago the grounds were home to an eight-week long "mother of all strikes" by public service workers. 

The only sign now is that the grounds have been newly graded and smoothed over, as if to get rid of any traces or reminders of the hundreds of disgruntled workers who made the grounds their second home in their quest to convince the government to give them a 16 percent salary increment.
