A case in which Debswana is accused of installing spy cameras to eavesdrop on its employees has branched off into a new row with the mine workers union demanding the sacking of acting managing director Lynette Armstrong. The Botswana Mining Workers Union (BMWU) demands that she be relieved of her duties for failing to, among others, resolve the case in which Debswana is being sued for over P100 million by a company identified as Infortrac for allegedly failing to honour its financial obligation. This comes in the wake of unconfirmed reports that Debswana has fired all suspended staff members implicated in the falsification of a damning report implicating a former managing director.
