BFTU speaks on work safety, exams, politics

Addressing a press conference held at Babereki House in response to the Monday state of the nation address by Khama, BFTU secretary general, Gadzani Mhotsha, said the speech was silent on workplace accidents in the construction industry.

"We reiterate our call that labour inspection in this sector be strengthened and the expansion of its capacity generally. It is not enough to simply remind investors about our labour laws when no action is being taken against violations of labour rights. Government knows that the dispute system will not address the problem," he said.
