Written by admin on
The Botswana Mine Workers Union (BMWU) says it is anticipating massive job losses at companies contracted to Debswana Mining Company as a termination of contracts by the country’s biggest mining company looms.
BMWU President, Joseph Tsimako told a media briefing today that some companies contracted to Debswana, namely Komatsu, Barloworld and Kanu Equipment Botswana have issued notices that Debswana intends to terminate their contracts in June this year.
He said the Union has begun consultations with these companies and they have indicated to it that they will end up restructuring, which in most cases leads to job losses.
