Public sector unions have dismissed claims made by the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) that they proposed a payment of P200 million to resuscitate school sports, which have been dormant for four years due to a deadlock between government and teachers.

During last weekend’s AGM, the BNSC told its affiliates that the unions were proposing a budget of P200 million in their talks with government, in order to restart school sports.

At the AGM, BNSC CEO, Tuelo Serufho, told delegates that the Commission had submitted a proposal to the unions committing P40 million to school sport.
