BMWU irked as BCL demands housing rental

Upon liquidation last October, employees were entitled to remain in BCL houses for 12 months free of charge as prescribed in the lease agreement. The rent-free lease agreement elapses end of October this year.

BMWU president, Jack Tlhagale told Mmegi that it is very unfortunate that such a decision has been taken. “It is just pathetic and inconsiderate. Government knows very well that former mine employees have got no money and it seems unconcerned about their plight,” he said.
