BMWU seek legal advice on BCL mine liquidation

Addressing the union members immediately after the official announcement of the executive’s decision by a delegation of ministers comprising Kitso Mokaila, Vincent Seretse, Sadique Kebonang and Nonofo Molefhi on Saturday, BMWU safety coordinator Rex Tambula highlighted that seeking legal advice would enable all affected parties to have an insight of all the processes of liquidation as well as their fate. He added that it will also guide them in demanding an up-to-date retrenchment agreement with BCL mine should there be any retrenchments, noting that the current one has long expired in 2011.

“Some of our members are currently in Gaborone meeting with opposition party presidents Duma Boko and Dumelang Saleshando who will call for an emergency parliamentary meeting to further get clarification on the decision. The union’s chairman is currently in Brazil and upon his arrival that is when we will announce our next move,” he said.
