BDF yet to pay owed nurses

The BDF is challenging the orders by Judge Lot Moroka of Francistown delivered on September 13, 2023 . The order indicated that the termination of the de-linking be and is hereby declared null and void and that the plaintiffs are entitled to be paid remuneration in terms of the delinking exercise. It further declared that each of the plaintiffs is entitled to be remunerated as per with their civilian counterparts who perform the same duties at the same level.

To counter this, the BDF has applied for a stay of execution of the Moroka judgement pending outcomes of the appeal lodged on December 6 2023. BDF argues that the court should judiciously exercise its discretion in assessing the prejudice or irreparable harm which the respondents (plaintiffs) stand to suffer if leave to execute were granted.
