Amid the ongoing allegations of corruption, the Botswana Water Sector Workers Union (BOWASEWU) has registered what it terms profound concern regarding the recent and widely circulated allegations of corruption implicating senior executives of the Water Utilities Corporation (WUC).

These allegations, the union states, were publicised through social media posts and corroborated by reports in reputable outlets such as Mmegi’s sister publication, The Monitor, dated June 10, 2025, and strike at the core of institutional integrity and public trust.

The Monitor publicised an alleged letter by the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) Head of Intelligence, Tshepo Pilane, to Permanent Secretary to the President (PSP) Emmah Peloetletse.
