BOMU gets six months waiver to comply

Friday, June 25, 2021

The Minister Nationality, Immigration and Gender Affairs Annah Mokgethi has given the Botswana Musicians Union (BOMU) a six months waiver after the union was found to have failed to comply with the Societies Act.

Mokgethi’s decision follows a take by BOMU to seek her indulgence following yet another compliance dispute with the Registrar of Societies. The latest development comes just some weeks before BOMU hosts its virtual 2021 music awards.
