BDP cuts 'deals' with BOFEPUSU leaders

Mmegi investigations reveal that the BDP officials have held covert meetings with union leaders where the latter were asked to desist from working with opposition parties and supporting their umbrella strategy, which will see the opposition uniting against the ruling BDP. They (BDP officials) are said to have promised some union leaders who are seeking re-election support, especially in campaigns.

One of the union leaders allegedly approached by the BDP is Shandukani Hlabano, president of Botswana Sectors of Educators Trade Unions (BOSETU) who is seeking re-election at his party's elections this weekend.
