SABC News reports that the strike by the workers at Vantage Goldfields’ Barbrook Mine near Barberton in Mpumalanga over unpaid November salaries is still continuing.
The 400 workers have been on strike since last week demanding their outstanding salaries. Mine management met with the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) on Monday and made a commitment that all workers would receive their salaries on Thursday this week. Meanwhile, former Lily Mine workers who blockaded the road to the mine will be paid on 15 December. They were demanding their packages and compensation for the families that lost relatives in the incident in February when a shaft at the mine collapsed. The bodies of three Lily workers are still trapped underground.
