Workers must be Protected

This mine, owned by Discovery Metals Limited, started operating just over two years ago and had brought hope to the Ngamiland District. The district is among the impoverished areas and has suffered from prolonged droughts and Foot and Mouth Disease that killed cattle. Developments are very limited in this area and it is survival of the fittest for the inhabitants.

The explanation given by Discovery Metals is that copper prices have fallen badly, labour costs are high, and this is affecting their business.
