BCL closure inflicts dire strain on businesses

The report that was recently presented to the local business community by Professor Happy Siphambe, has shown that firms have lost significant business due to the mine closure. It indicates that some potential businesses whose business plans were approved by Citizen Entrepreneurial Development Agency lost viability due to closure of BCL.

He added that companies whose business relied more on BCL have been highly affected and added that for most of local companies, business went down by more than 50% since the mine closure.
