SABC News reports that the battle over salary increases continues at the Sasol coal mine in Secunda, Mpumalanga.
Members of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) have been on strike since last Thursday and are demanding a minimum wage of R12,500 a month. Four other unions have accepted a 7% increase. A total of eight shafts have been affected by the strike. Sasol says it has put contingency plans in place. It has committed to continuing to negotiate with Amcu to find an amicable solution. Striking workers are threatening to march to the Sasol head office in Rosebank, Johannesburg, next week.
