BMWU suspends Khoemacau peaceful demonstration

The petition and the peaceful demonstration were against allegations of violations of rights of the disgruntled employees of Khoemacau such as unbearable conditions of service, no proper accommodation, rampant racism, unfair labour practices to mention a few. Following the letter submitted to Khoemacau management, the BMWU general-secretary Maenge Maenge told Mmegi that the management requested for a meeting with the union on Tuesday.

He said they met with management over issues affecting their employees. “The management has requested some time to prepare for their response. We are to meet again with the same management next week Wednesday to get their feedback. In the meantime, the petition is suspended until further notice,” said BMWU general-secretary.
