    This communication serves to inform all nurses, all stakeholders and members of the general public that Botswana Nurses Union (BONU) has been duly registered in accordance with the Trade Unions and Employers’ Organization Act of 1983, as a trade union. This registration took effect on 24 July 2012.

    Furthermore, it is important to note that at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Nurses Association of Botswana (NAB) held in Serowe Institute of Health Sciences on 13 – 14 October 2010, a resolution was passed to the effect that NAB would cease to exist once BONU registration has been completed; and that an extra ordinary meeting shall be called to dissolve NAB and facilitate transformation logistics including election of BONU executive committee, transferring of NAB assets to BONU etc.

    The extra-ordinary meeting for the dissolution of NAB and launching of BONU has been scheduled for 26 October 2012 at Francistown Institute of Health Sciences, following the last AGM of NAB which is scheduled for 24 – 25 October 2012. As per the constitution, BONU has both labour and professional arms.
