BOPEU have successfully halted a Khama style para-military bootcamp where over 300 of its members working as instructors at various technical and vocational institutions(TVET) were subjected to harsh military exercises at a training base in Matsiloje in recent weeks.

Under the regime of former president, Ian Khama the para-military style bootcamps had been institutionalised for Form IV’s, Form V’s, as well as other young people applying for funding from government departments.

Under the Khama regime, the young people would be subjected to military style trainings led by the army and conducted in far-flung areas away from the prying eyes of the media or the public.
