Mining Weekly reports that Northam Platinum has advised that wage negotiations at its Zondereinde mine, in Limpopo, with representative union the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) have been concluded.

Northam said the wage agreement was effective from 1 July and assured Zondereinde employees of increases to all major components of remuneration over the next five years. It noted that the agreement was aligned with industry settlements and took into consideration the reality of inflationary pressures faced by its employees. “The wage agreement secures five years of stability at Zondereinde and has been achieved through a collaborative, respectful and constructive engagement process between Northam and the NUM, without requiring intervention or mediation by third parties,” said Northam CEO Paul Dunne.
