Broadhurst High Court judge, Justice Zein Kebonang on Tuesday granted Botswana Public Employees Union (BOPEU) president Masego Mogwera an opportunity to challenge the court action launched by a rival faction led by first deputy President, Olefile Monakwe and his faction.

Mogwera threw her hat in the ring after the rival faction had successfully secured a temporary order to force the bank to reopen the bank account and allow the opponents to continue as signatories.
