According to a letter updating members from BOSETU secretary general, Tabokani Rari, the meeting between the two parties took place this week as ordered by the court. The Lobatse Judge, Godfrey Nthomiwa had given both parties time to engage on terms and return to court on August 7, 2017.

The case was about what the teacher union terms discrimination against their members whom they believe deserve to be paid scarce skills given that the many Business Studies and Accounting teachers employed in junior and secondary school are foreign nationals.
