BOSETU SACCOS coffers run dry :: Mmegi Online

Two years after COVID-19 disrupted lives, Batswana continue to feel the effects. Members of Botswana Sectors of Educators Trade Union (BOSETU) Savings and Credit Cooperative Organisation Society (SACCOS) are not an exception, as they cannot access their savings to lessen the hardships brought about by the pandemic and the economy.

BOSETU SACCOS members bemoan that they cannot access their savings as the society coffers have run dry. The dejected members said their applications to access savings date back to January this year and they are yet to receive the money hence their frustration, not knowing what could be delaying the process.

“I am now frustrated and agitated with the future of my savings at SACCOS. I have been visiting their offices asking about the progress of my January application to no avail. I have been saving money so that I can depend on it during difficult times and emergencies but the wait is killing me. We used to be assisted on time but it is no longer the case,” said a member.
