BOSETU remembers the Sedie 10

Botswana Secondary School Teachers Union (BOSETU) would like to express its deepest condolences to the families, parents and friends of the recent road tragedy victims which involved students of Sedie Junior Secondary School. The loss of more than 10 lives is itself a national tragedy.

BOSETU is extremely concerned by the continued loss of lives on our national roads. It is high time the Office of the President, Ministry of Works and Transport and other stakeholders seriously reflect on this tragedy and come up with preventive measures. President Festus Mogae has gallantly and relentlessly fought against the HIV/AIDS scourge and has consequently saved thousands of lives.
