Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>205 former employees of the defunct bus company Beira Public Transport (TPB) have threatened to resort to violence in pursuing their claims for compensation.<\/p>\n

The former employees claim that they were not hired when the company TPB was closed and replaced by a new company, Beira Municipal Transport (TMB), which is owned by the municipality.<\/p>\n

According to Thursday\u2019s issue of the Beira daily \u201cDia\u0301rio de Moc\u0327ambique\u201d, the former employees claim that the company owes them about 40 million meticais (626,000 dollars at the current exchange rate).<\/p>\n

The workers demonstrated on Wednesday in front of Beira Municipal Council offices, as well as in front of TMB itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Municipality is no longer answering. This was our last peaceful protest, and I do not know what we are capable of doing. We will fight till we kill each other in this building, although they have the guns and the power\u201d, declared Salvador Limpo, one of the protesters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe prefer to die and we are ready to die\u201d, he claimed.<\/p>\n

According to another protester, Ranito Fernando, the company has owed money to its former employees for almost five years \u201cbut the municipality does not want to fulfil its promise to pay the compensation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fed up. We are making a noise in order to claim our rights\u201d, Fernando added, explaining that the workers do not understand why the money is not being paid, since the Administrative Tribunal has already decided that the money should be paid.<\/p>\n
