BOFEPUSU caught between left, right wing politics :: Mmegi Online

When BOFEPUSU affiliates congregate in Francistown at the Adansonia Hotel for the third elective congress, the event that has elicited so much interest is likely to degenerate into a clash of right wing and left wing trade unionism.

Political bigwigs have started pulling the strings from behind the scenes selling their political ideologies ahead of an event that promises a lot of action as a clash of the titans.

The political parties’ move is heightened by the reality that the country is going to the polls next year and BOFEPUSU, with an estimated membership of about over 100,000 members, comes across as one of the largest constituencies that political organisations can only ignore at their own peril. There are reports emerging from the federation as affiliates canvass for votes that BOFEPUSU is reportedly used and targeted as a vehicle for political advancement by various political organisations.
