BCL Mine has seen an uptick in fatal accidents

The Botswana Centre for Human Rights wishes to express its deep sympathy to the victims’ families and wishes those injured a speedy recovery, following the recent Bamangwato Concession Limited (BCL) mine accidents.

DITSHWANELO is concerned with the rate at which accidents reportedly occur at the BCL copper mine. On June 21, 2016, a mine worker was seriously injured when an ore-containing wall fell on him. On May 29, 2016, four mine workers were killed and six others critically injured in an accident at the mine.

The accident occurred when 10 mine workers were travelling underground in a mine shaft elevator.
