Worker wants witness in labour claim

Last Tuesday, Security Services management did not turn up at the labour offices in Francistown where Botshelo Goretetse and the labour mediators waited in vain.

Repeated phone calls to the company did not yield positive results to find out their side of the story. Goretetse, 49, who was hired last February as a security supervisor lodged a case with the department after he was dismissed from work following a contractual disagreement with his employers. Relating his case, Botshelo, and a resident of Serowe, who had come job hunting to Francistown says he was hired by Security Services on February 5 to work at the Dukwi mine. He continues: "On February 9, we were taken by our manager, together with my squad, to Dukwi to start work. But on arrival there, we found there was no accommodation.
