This follows government's rejection of proposals on how the school could be taken over. In a letter to the commissioner of labour, Motse stated that the board proposed the school be taken over like other mission schools, compensation be paid to the Lutheran Development Association of Churches of Botswana (LUDABO) and that it be supported like other organisations, such as Banabametsi and Banabaletsatsi, which are not brigades.
