EWN reports that Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) president Joseph Mathunjwa says that in order to deal with the inequalities in SA, the capitalist programme needs to be radically disrupted.  

He was speaking at the Joburg Indaba in Sandton on Thursday, where the business community met to discuss how to make mining a key driver of the economy.  Mathunjwa stated that the unions could not trust mining houses until the wage gap between CEOs and workers was narrowed.  At the same event, veteran unionist Dr James Motlatsi said the mining sector needed to undo its legacy of not taking care of poor miners.
