BNF refused permission for solidarity march?

Addressing the workers at the Bus Rank, Selebi-Phikwe West Constituency Assistant Secretary, Boitshoko Kealeboga explained that the idea was to show solidarity with the workers and to hand over a petition to the Selebi-Phikwe District Commissioner (DC). He said that the Police only informed them on Tuesday evening that they would not issue them with a permit to hold the walk.

Kealeboga said that even the DC did nothing despite seeking his intervention. He, however, called upon the workers not to hate the police or the DC because of the incident.
