The Union has awarded Mr Bagai with Union-branded souvenirs and a total cash of four thousand pula only (P4,000), which the Union’s investment arm, More Power Investments, pledges (MPI) P10, 000. Bank Gaborone and Emegency Assist 991 pledged to increase the amount as well.
Security Systems, which has also agreed to offer members their services at a reduced costs, pledged to provide security services for free for a year to Mr Bagai.
In his remarks, BTU President Comrade Gotlamang Oitsile said, “After hearing of the wonderful work done by our colleague, who is a member of BTU, we shied away from holding our arms and doing nothing.”
BTU Vice President Secondary, Comrade Galefetolwe Dithobane, was assigned to see what could be done to recognise this exceptional teacher.
The excited teacher thanked the Union and those who recognised his performance. He said it was only through hard work that he produced good results every year, despite the challenges they face as teachers.
