This is after the consumer goods and beverages company closed the factory and relocated to KwaZulu-Natal in 2021. Some former workers have now been offered short-term re-employment, but some former employees say they know nothing of these new developments.
Meanwhile, North West Premier Bushy Maape says the provincial government will come up with other means to attract investors to Lichtenburg. The company indicated it was relocating to KwaZulu-Natal, citing local municipal service delivery challenges.President of Giwusa, Mametlwe Sebei says over 300 workers in Lichternburg alone were laid off due to the factory closure.
In June last year, Clover cited lack of water provision, recurring power outages and damaged roads by the Ditsobotla Local Municipality as part of the reasons for relocating.Around 4 000 workers belonging to the Food & Allied Workers Union and the General Industries Workers Union of South Africa downed tools over two months ago due to wage cuts and other changes to their working conditions.have since vowed to continue with their industrial action until their demands are met.
It is now in the hands of these ANC morons to utilise the opportunity given by Clover SA. Fix roads, make sure water is available and involve the community. Stop filling pockets...... second chance
Are the eatists going to provide the services now?
