Reuters reports that members of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) will not return to work at Northam Platinum's Zondereinde mine until their safety is assured after a spate of murders, a spokesman for the union said on Tuesday.
Northam suspended production at the mine on Monday after a worker was gunned down on Sunday and another worker was fatally stabbed during a clash between members of the NUM and the rival Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) on Monday.
