The said miners reportedly insisted that they need assurance that the cage is safe for use before they could board. As a result of this about 150 employees were issued with letters for a disciplinary hearing, which were withdrawn.
BCL's public relations and marketing manager, James Molosankwe, confirmed that they have lodged internal investigations in connection with the missing documents and also reported the matter to the police for further investigations. He however denied that they have targeted any individuals and said the next course of action will be determined by the findings of the investigations. He insisted that as far as they are concerned, the missing documents are valuable legal papers which should have not been removed from their safe custody. He stressed that the law prescribes that the log sheets must be kept for any inspections. “The police will inform us of their findings once they have completed their investigations and ours is ongoing as well,” he said.
