BPC arrears cost MCM contractor jobs – BMWU

The Union, in a statement this week, said workers at the BR-BB Joint Venture (Pty) Ltd, are owed over P9 million by MCM because the colliery in turn has not been paid for its supplies to the BPC. The Corporation has long term contracts for coal supply from MCM to run its Morupule A and B power stations, which are the country’s baseload power generation.

BMWU general secretary, Mbiganyi Gaekgotswe said on December 12, 2024, MCM terminated its service agreement with its subcontractor BR-BB Joint Venture, citing cash-flow challenges.
