BCL employees disturbed by mine fatalities

SELEBI-PHIKWE: The emotionally charged meeting that Vice President Mokgweetsi Masisi held with BCL employees on Tuesday revealed that workers are disgruntled and seriously disturbed by the incessant loss of lives at the mine.

Following the death of 11 employees between 2014 and 2015, the mine has lost four more this week. As BCL employees waited the VP to start his address, they stood in groups discussing what could have led to last Sunday’s accident and even wondered who would be the next to fall victim to a similar unfortunate incident.
