Branches query leadership of BMWU

The burning issues range from misappropriation of the organisation's funds and failure to elect the union vice president.

Sources say after the death of former union president, Golekanye Mogende, branches were divided over who should replace him. "There were fights for the former national treasurer, Lentsifetse Masilo, to take over but some branches refused on the grounds that he failed to account for a huge expenditure in the financial report at the last triennial congress. We finally settled for Rex Tambula," reveals a source.
