Mama Morobe

The ‘Mama Morobe’ were demanding a response from the provincial government to their petition that was presented over a week ago.

The petition followed the November 16^th welding of the Manolos Aviation fuel depot gate over claims of rental arrears.

Eight of Morobe’s women leaders, who call themselves Mama Morobe, forced open the gate to Manolos Aviation’s fuel depot after hearing of a baby’s death in rural Teptep.

The business arm of the Morobe Provincial Government allegedly locked Manolos Aviation’s fuel depot gate on Monday November 16^th over claims of rental arrears.

Managing director, Bradshaw, said the lockout was consistent with a National Court order brought about by Manolos’ refusal to sign a new lease.
