The University of Botswana’s two main trade unions, the University of Botswana Academic and Support Staff Union (UBASSU) and the University of Botswana Staff Union (UBSU), have launched a scathing attack on the institution’s top leadership, calling for the immediate resignation of Vice Chancellor Professor David Norris, Director of Human Resources Emmanuel Maite, and Director of Legal Services BenbellaRwelengera.

The unions accuse management of deliberately stalling the university’s long-awaited restructuring process that began in 2020, saying it has left hundreds of employees trapped in uncertainty, financial hardship, and psychological distress.
