BOPRITA to remain separate from BOPRITU, court rules

Thursday, September 15, 2011

Lobatse High Court Judge, Isaac Lesetedi has ruled that the Botswana Primary Teachers Association (BOPRITA) should remain a separate entity from the Botswana Primary Teachers Union (BOPRITU).

BOPRITA lodged a court case after the BOPRITU executive took control of its bank account at the First National Bank (FNB) in a fight over the former's assets.
