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.

The matter relates to the control of BOPEU's bank account held at Standard chattered Bank. The case resumes on Friday for arguments.

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.
