PALAPYE: Veteran trade unionist Tobokani Rari defied the odds by retaining his position as the secretary general of the Botswana Sectors for Educators Trade Union (BOSETU) on Thursday evening.

Rari, who is also BOFEPUSU secretary general, triumphed against Innocent Mannathoko, who until the elections was the former’s vice. Leading into the elections there was a swelling opinion that Rari was destined to lose the elections. The elections were coordinated from Palapye but BOSETU members voted in various centres across the country.

Many of Rari’s critics accused him over staying in his position. His latest victory earned him a fourth consecutive three year term as the union secretary general. Rari was only challenged once in his previous three terms.
