Khama snubs dismissed workers

On August 25, 2014, the representatives of dismissed workers, Serwalo Tirelo and Oboile Modiidi wrote a letter to the Senior Private Secretary to the President, George Tlhalerwa, requesting a meeting with the president.

Khama was scheduled to meet the concerned former employees in June but he could not make it due to his busy schedule. In a correspondence letter dated October 6, Tlhalerwa informed the desperate dismissed workers that their request was unsuccessful. He further informed them that the Office of the President had considered various options and advice but nothing could be done to assist them.
