Lobtrans Liquidated

"Lobtrans and LCS (Lobatse Cash Store) companies are no longer in existence, the companies died yesterday. As of today you are unemployed and you can pack your bags and go," those were the chilling words of John Stevens to a crowd of Lobtrans employees on Friday morning. He was appointed by the High Court in Lobatse as the liquidator of Lobtrans on Thursday.

On a positive note, he announced that he would be engaging Unitrans to manage the Lobtrans fleet of over 70 trucks to distribute fuel throughout the country. 

"You are going to be paid your salaries, severance benefits, and leave pay. But there are employment forms from Unitrans which you should fill and successful applicants will be hired," he announced. But the words were not enough to convince the astounded employees who accused their former employer of dumping them. "So what is going to happen to us from today until the matter is resolved at the High Court? Who are we, are we employees of Lobtrans or Unitrans?," an employee enquired. But Stevens reiterated his earlier statement that: "As from today you are unemployed. The company has no money".
