TimesLive reports that the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) is extremely distressed and concerned that the perpetrators responsible for attacks last month on two its members have not yet been brought to book.
One of the victims‚ Ranthimo Nkosi — who was a Jonrik contractor at Sibanye Gold Cooke 2 — was attacked and severely assaulted in October‚ which resulted in him dying. The second victim‚ a NUM branch leader at Cooke‚ is in a critical condition at Milpark hospital after being attacked. The union said its members were now living in fear of their lives and wanted the law enforcement agencies and government to intervene. The union added: “The situation is out of control at the Cooke operations. Hooligans masquerading as workers are assaulting‚ attacking and killing our members."
