Miners warned of tough times ahead

Majadibodu reminded them of the 2004 De Beers strike, which led to the dismissal of some employees.  Some went home empty-handed and suffered the consequences of not saving for their families for any unseen misfortune.

He said the immediate closure of Selebi-Phikwe’s BCL Mine is also a perfect lesson employees around the country could learn from that life will never be lenient toward anyone and such calls for proper planning and use of funds must be heeded.
