SELEBI-PHIKWE: The Botswana Mine Workers Union (BMWU) will petition government in demonstrations that will be held in major villages around the SPEDU region over the slow pace of reviving the local economy.

The petition will further demand that government investigate the findings of the BCL liquidator Nigel Dixon- Warren’s report on the closure of the BCL mine and take proper actions against those implicated.

The decision to petition, according to the union’s general secretary Moffat Ramokate, was taken by the national executive committee and also endorsed by the union national council in November last year. Preparations will commence immediately after the Labour Day Commemorations on May 1, 2018.
