BusinessLive reports that Limpopo police are investigating malicious damage to property after a bus owned by a company contracted to De Beers Venetia Mine in Musina was set ablaze.
The company’s buses are used to transport mine workers living in the Musina and Blouberg areas. Colonel Ronnel Otto said police received information about an illegal strike at the mine and were investigating a case of damage to property. Company spokesman Innocent Mabusela said protesters have been stopping buses entering the mine and intimidating workers reporting for duty. The unlawful action relates to pay out of funds from the Equal Allocation Trust (EAT), an independent employee share scheme.
