Is BOFEPUSU really a factor in Goodhope/Mabule?

Friday, August 14, 2015

FRANCISTOWN: The power and unity of public servants under the Botswana Federation of Public Service Unions (BOFEPUSU) will be tested tomorrow in the Goodhope-Mabule by-election.

More than 2, 600 civil servants are expected to partake in tomorrow’s by-election as BOFEPUSU tries to deny the ruling party a chance to win the constituency, which fell vacant after the former Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) legislator James Mathokgwane resigned in May to join SPEDU.

Until the 2014 elections, the Goodhope-Mabule constituency had been pro-Botswana Democratic Party (BDP). The fact that the BDP won 11 of the 12 wards shows that it remains a factor and may recapture the constituency.
