selibe phikwe saga

poelo morago ka moepo!

Just a few weeks after Botswana celebrated its 50 years carat style jubilee, trouble was brewing in the North-East mining city Selibe-Phikwe. BCL miners were ordered to halt production as the company is, currently undergoing a liquidation process. Some public members often question mineral depletion, corruption at managerial level, but no and as it seems the company has been undergoing serious financial crisis for a about a year till final closure. I would say a employee with good insight skills should not be seeing it as a shock, the troubled company has had insufficient funds to run daily costs generally some of which included paying miners and tax issues since second quarter 2015. Though the MD Mr Mahupela continued serving his term, it seemed inappropriate and incompetent but reveled a character of loyalty and firmness. Many would have chickened out of the pan, but he had his reputation at stake. Govt institutions are unstable such as schools failing to grant student transfers, and this will definitely weigh in on the State. Business advised to stay, investors losing faith, perhaps a real question is who is the bailout. Upon closure, the MP of the area as well as member of opposition Mr Keorapetse had a competitive and critical approach towards the issue, which is now raised a series of political challenges and campaign strategy just as lamenting workers throughout media interaction.

Now for a minute think; introducing a political state of SA mining giants like Patrice Motsepe would mean striving for resources, the poor would become more vulnerable, Education/Health facilities to go on sale, honestly blankets would not rescue a blood Party & if you are poor you had better step up... Truth is if govt sells BCL, it would headed for the worst, it would be a revolution! Total definite crash, brace for impact and the question is 'How hard?' upon impact. Please Share, Cheers!
