MANAGING Director of MKM, Lebuajoang Thebe-ea-khale who is embroiled in a legal fight with his suspended employees over their unpaid salaries and terminal benefits is said to have evicted some of those workers out of the company houses located around Maseru.

The residential homes in question are located in Maseru West, Sebaboleng, Khubetsoana, and Ha Thetsane.

The embattled entrepreneur is alleged to have also threatened to throw the workers' furniture out of his property.

One of the disgruntled employees, Tšoanelo Ranthamane said Thebe-ea-khale personally ordered him to vacate the company house he is currently occupying.

Ranthamane is one of the workers who was suspended from work without getting paid in December last year.
“Mr Thebe-ea-khale went to the house in my absence and found my wife and told her to inform me that he wanted me to vacate the premises immediately if I did now want to be thrown out.

“When I arrived home over the weekend, I found cut trees all over the yard, blocking my way into the compound. I had to remove them in order to have access to the house. Mr Thebe-ea-khale has also threatened to throw my furniture out of his house and even demolish that house if I don’t leave.”

But Ranthamane cannot leave Thebe-ea-khale’s property because he has not yet received his terminal benefits.

“I do not have any money, so I cannot leave this place. Last December when we got suspended, we were promised an allowance of M500 while our terminal benefits were being processed. Still, to date, we have not received anything,” he said, adding that life has been difficult since then for him and his family.
