Unions still rue Khama's regime :: Mmegi Online

Following the historic 2011 public servants’ strike, public sector unions affiliated to Botswana Federation of Public, Private and Parastatal Sector Unions (BOFEPUSU) still loathe former President Ian Khama’s administration with a passion. With the commemoration of 10 years since the 2011 just around the corner, the unions say that Khama reversed the gains that could have catapulted labour relations in Botswana to greater heights.

Mogwera says despite the treatment unions in Botswana experienced during the Khama regime, most if not all trade unions and their members in Botswana especially those in the public sector understand their roles and rights.
