BDLive reports that the North Gauteng High Court has ordered that sequestration proceedings begin against the former directors of Aurora Empowerment systems for mismanagement of Pamodzi Gold mines.
The decision will bring some closure to thousands of mineworkers who lost their jobs, trade union Solidarity said on Wednesday. This represents the end of the financial aspect of six years of legal battles over the personal liability of those who took over management of the Grootvlei and Orkney mines in 2009. Solidarity indicated in a statement that a deal had been reached with Khulubuse Zuma for the payment of R23m in damages to the Pamodzi and Aurora liquidators. Zuma has made a R5m payment and will pay a further R500,000 by the end of Wednesday, followed by R100,000 monthly tranches until the amount is paid.
