SELEBI-PHIKWE: Selebi-Phikwe West legislator, Dithapelo Keorapetse has urged the local business community and creditors of BCL Limited to institute legal action against the decision to place the mine and its subsidiaries under provisional liquidation.

He said this in a question and answer session during a recent meeting addressed by the Minister of Mineral Resources, Green Technology and Energy Security, Sadique Kebonang last week.

To the applause of the concerned business community and creditors, Keorapetse insisted that challenging the government’s decision is necessary because the liquidation is going to leave the town in serious problems.
