BFTU honours history on May Day

The commemoration of May Day this year will be held at Tsholofelo Park in Gaborone. The Guest of Honour will be His Honour the Vice President, Mokgweetsi Masisi.

The theme for commemoration is: “Celebrating the Achievement of Workers in the Wake of the 50th Anniversary of Independence.” This theme was carefully chosen looking at the simple fact that, it has not been a struggle without achievements; and contrary to stereotype the celebratory theme proves that we do not talk problems every time we talk. With this theme, Botswana Federation of Trade Unions (BFTU) also takes into consideration the fact that our commemoration will be a few months early to the national jubilee of the 50th anniversary of independence.
