Although Botswana Musicians Union (BOMU) has gone all out to dismiss local musician, Eddie ‘Snyomfere’ Monthe’s allegations that the union has been deregistred, the latter says that the union is non-compliant and should therefore be deregistred.

This comes after BOMU president, Phemelo ‘Fresh’ Lesokwane revealed in a press release last week that the notes and letters written by Snyomfere and being circulated on social media are untrue and misleading.  Last month, the Minister of Nationality, Immigration and Gender Affairs, Annah Mokgethi gave (BOMU) a six months waiver after the union was found to have failed to comply with the Societies Act.

“BOMU Executive Committee on  June 9, 2021 submitted all the documents requested by the minister from the year 1998 to 2021 (annual returns, minutes, affidavits, and staements) and laid to rest the organisation’s issues with the Societies Act. In order to protect the image of the organisation, BOMU has since instructed its lawyers JJ Matomela Attorneys to sue Monthe for spreading false and untruthful information about the organisation,” read a statement from Lesokwane.
