BMWU special council endorses constitutional amendments

The Palapye special council was held to address important issues ahead of the trade union's triennial elective congress billed for Tlokweng on July 28-31. Mmegi is informed that amongst others, the constitutional amendments were long overdue, as the union leadership realised an urgent need to align the union's constitution with the industry's dynamics.

In fact, a few years ago, BMWU found itself in a tangle following the death of its former president, the late Golekanye Mogende. The BMWU had to grapple with the issue of succession only to realise that its constitution was not helpful at all, hence the urgent need to amend it to avert a repeat situation.
