EWN reports that Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) leader Joseph Mathunjwa has called on government as a custodian of mining land to intervene with Sibanye Stillwater's management in respect of the current wage dispute.
Mathunjwa addressed miners at a mass meeting at the Driefontein Mine on Friday. He announced that the ongoing strike would continue indefinitely. Workers have been on strike for five months demanding a R1,000 monthly salary increase for each of the next three years. Mathunjwa said it was important to note that Amcu had little power to ensure that the strike was called off. He also said the state had a responsibility to the workers and posed the following question: “How can the state allow the monopoly capital to oppress and exploit its citizens?”
