Debswana's spy toilet camera case postponed

LOBATSE: The case that is set to expose the inhumane treatment that some employees of Botswana mining giant Debswana have had to endure has been postponed.

Over 40 mine employees from the Completely Automated Recovery Plant (CARP) of Orapa are each demanding P5 million from Debswana mining company as compensation for the cameras that were found in their toilets. The 43 employees are suing for breach of their human rights after discovering a surveillance camera in the toilets they have been using.

The court heard that the use of the surveillance cameras was stopped in 2001 by the Orapa mine management.However, five years later a camera was found in the toilet and the employees are now aggrieved by the discovery.Before the case was registered, it is alleged that Debswana owned up to the damaging blunder and offered to compensate the affected staff. Most of the aggrieved individuals fear that their images, allegedly captured secretly by the company cameras, could be used for pornography.
