“Our lives are in danger. We are receiving threats now and then from individuals who wanted to join our union by force. They want to head the MSEA, but we won’t allow that,” chairman Wilson Saunya said yesterday.

He did not name the three, but added that they have tried to join their outfit before, but their attempts were blocked.

“The three stormed our meeting where we were hosting Special Programmes PS Josphata Mkobe .They wanted to address the meeting, but members declined and forced them out,” Saunya said.
