BLLAHWU presidency case back on

BLLAHWU members

Justice Godfrey Nthomiwa will today hear an application by the Botswana Land Boards Local Authorities and Health Workers Union (BLLAHWU) seeking membership termination of expelled president Samuel Kedise.

BLLAHWU has approached the court seeking a declaratory order to the effect that Kedise is no longer a member of the applicant union. The union argues that Kedise consequently lost his presidency because his membership of BLLAHWU lapsed on account of his failure to pay his subscription fees for a cumulative period of over three months. This is in terms of clause 5.4 of the first applicant’s (BLLAHWU) constitution. The second applicant is one Baone Seloka, a member of the BLLAHWU.

In his heads of argument Kedise through his lawyer, Obonye Jonas, says: “In the premises, the court is urged to find as a fact that the applicants continue to deduct the respondent’s subscription fee from his salary on a monthly basis to this day.
