BOFEPUSU gives opposition ultimatum

At a meeting convened by opposition negotiators yesterday, sources say that union representatives told Botswana Congress Party (BCP) president, Dumelang Saleshando, his Botswana National Front (BNF) counterpart, Duma Boko and deputy president of the Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) Botsalo Ntuane that they will only support a united opposition at the 2014 general elections. The meeting was chaired by the convenors of opposition cooperation talks, Lebang Mpotokwane and Emang Maphanyane. 

Although the meeting was largely a briefing session for the union leadership, sources say that the unionists took the time to reinstate their support for a united opposition.
