BOSETU Leadership interacts with Botswana Open University Members at Gaborone Centre
This afternoon, the National Organising Secretary of BOSETU, Cde Godiraone Kootshabe, led a team of BOSETU leadership in an engagement with members at the Botswana Open University (BOU) Gaborone Centre. He was accompanied by Cde Ofentse Sepatela and Cde Mothusi Tshukudu from National Executive Committee.
The engagement provided an important platform for members to openly raise issues concerning their welfare, workplace challenges and other matters affecting their day-to-day experiences.
Members expressed their appreciation for the engagement, noting that this was the first opportunity since the signing of the Collective Labour Agreement (CLA) in 2023 to directly interact with BOSETU leadership. The interaction therefore marked an important step in strengthening communication, representation and the union's visibility among BOU members.
The engagement was attended by Gaborone Regional Chairperson, Cde Ditso Makoko, Gaborone North Branch Chairperson, Cde Dimpho Batsima, and Bonnington North Branch Chairperson, Cde Mashabile. Their participation provided an opportunity for regional and branch leadership to directly appreciate the concerns raised by members and to strengthen structures for responding to those concerns.
BOSETU appreciates the participation and constructive engagement of the Gaborone Centre members. The union remains committed to taking leadership closer to members, strengthening its presence and visibility, deepening member engagement, and ensuring that members' concerns are heard and appropriately represented across all BOU centres.
