The National Union of Mineworkers has today announced that it is considering a national day of mourning across the mining industry.

This follows the death of two more workers yesterday and today.

NUM General Secretary says “just in these few months, we are already seeing an over 28 percent increment in the number of fatalities largely as a result of ignorance and negligence”.

A possible date for work stoppage could be announced soon.
