BOFEPUSU wins hands down

This was after the Registrar of Trade Unions and Employers Organisation Lesego Pule struck the federation off the roll saying that it was registered by mistake or misrepresentation.

When the case was called no government attorney was in court to defend Pule's decision made four years ago. Justice Michael Leburu was scheduled to hear the case yesterday but it seemed the government developed cold feet. In the event of the government's non-appearance Justice Leburu granted the application to BOFEPUSU, Botswana Public Employees Union (BOPEU) and National Amalgamated, Central and Local Government and Parastatal Workers Union (NACLGPWU) in terms of the draft order. BOFEPUSU had appealed to the High Court.
