The cruelty of liquidation

The vehicles weigh up to 16 tonnes and the incident left him hardly able to walk. Mmele struggles on crutches to support a right leg that is heavily plastered, supported by heavy metal rods that cover the whole shin area.

Now he cannot secure much assistance because the mine that should be coordinating his medical check ups is under liquidation. He has already missed an appointment with a specialist at the Gaborone Private Hospital (GPH) and it is over six months since the metal rods were inserted into his leg. He does not know how and when he will have them removed because he may have to relocate back to the village after October 31.
