Mr Snyman, Commercial Manager: PBMR, addressed the question of property, plant and equipment. He said that management had decided that people who were being retrenched by PBMR were allowed to take their tools of trade as part of their severance packages. These included desks, computers, etc. Some of the furniture would be sold or auctioned. The plants, like the one in the North West, would be transferred to universities and other institutions. The Committee questioned whether the withdrawal by Westinghouse was a dominant factor that influenced the winding down of the entity, and why Westinghouse withdrew so suddenly. What was the difference with regard to the first batch and second batch of severance packages that PBMR employees received?
