SELEBI-PHIKWE: In a bid to save the economic situation of Selebi-Phikwe, the town’s Chamber of Commerce has recommended a raft of changes and that the BCL mine be transformed into an open pit.

A leaked Chamber of Commerce report by the local business community that is destined for Parliament also says that as an immediate action for government to assist the mining town, former BCL employees be re-skilled to rehabilitate the mine’s dumping sites. Their position is also that VAT be deferred for BCL creditors who are waiting to receive payment from the liquidator.

The Chamber of Commerce also called on government to relocate some departments that have disposable income to Selebi-Phikwe and to also develop a steam train business to attract tourists. They say that this is a non-core BCL asset that can be advanced with the appointed liquidator.
