'Francistown doomed' � politicians

The provisional liquidator, Nigel Dixon-Warren released a report this week putting paid to hopes that BCL Mine and Tati Nickel could reopen and that the only way out will have to be to sell them separately or as a whole as early as July.

Dixon-Warren addressed the media on Tuesday in Selebi Phikwe where he said that when he delivers his report to the High Court on February 7, he would be recommending that BCL Ltd, which includes both Mines and BCL Investments, be placed under final liquidation.
