Mining Weekly reports that very few employees at Harmony Gold’s Kusasalethu mine reported for work on Tuesday morning, according to spokesperson Marian van der Walt.
The gold producer on Monday issued an ultimatum, calling for striking workers to return to work by Tuesday night or face disciplinary action. The Labour Court on Friday granted an interdict declaring ongoing industrial action at the mine unprotected and ordering employees to return to work. Harmony on Monday said that despite agreements with recognised unions, including the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu), that union and its members have, since the start of 2017, continued to disrupt operations, threatening the safety of Harmony's employees and impacting negatively on production. Van der Walt indicated that the company would continue to communicate with its employees to return to work.
