A third of BFA employees face the chop

Four employees have left the organisation as a result, with a further 10 expected to follow suit before the end of February 2022. The BFA earlier this year announced a restructuring exercise meant to rationalise operations.

The association indicated the move was meant to ensure an efficient and leaner organisation. Some employees were expected to be redeployed amid reports there were concerns that some were not fit for purpose and needed moving around, or phasing out their positions.
