Botswana Federation of Public Service Unions (BOFEPSUSU) publicity secretary, Goretetse Kekgonegile says that they do not encourage their dismissed members to reapply for government jobs because doing so would mean they were guilty.

Speaking in an interview yesterday, Kekgonegile said they have taken a position to fight for the reinstatement of the dismissed essential service workers in court and they won't agree to conditional reinstatement.

"We don't encourage them to re-apply as it will mean they are guilty," he said. Kekgonegile was speaking in the wake of government announcement that it has started processing applications for employment of essential services public officers, who were dismissed "following their engagement in an illegal and unprotected strike action". Public service workers have downed tools for eight weeks, initially demanding 16 percent salary increment.
