Over five thousand members of the National Union of Mineworkers are expected to protest tomorrow in Rustenburg, North West.

NUM’s spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka said the march is to protest over lack of safety in the mines across the country.

The members will be marching to the Rustenburg Municipal Offices to hand over a memorandum of demands.

The march is a build up towards the national day of mourning scheduled for September.
