Localisation creates rift at Mupane Mine

The failure to honour the agreement has reportedly caused tension between the employees and some senior mine officials. What irks employees the most is that the company allegedly retained expatriates occupying the positions of commercial manager and senior mine surveyor that were supposed to be localised by June.

The decision was made without communicating anything with those who were supposed to take over as part of the company’s localisation plan.  Additionally, even BMWU general secretary , Mbinganyi Ramokate speaking on behalf of the employees, told Mmegi in an interview this week that, ‘the mine appears to have totally ditched’ plans to localise the two top management posts.
