The world’s third biggest gold producer AngloGold Ashanti says an unprotected strike has spread through its South African operations and the majority of its 35-thousand workers are striking.

According to company spokesperson Alan Fine yesterday’s night shift was prevented when workers at the West Wits and Vaal River Region operations joined those at Kopanang.

Kopanang workers have been striking since last week.

Fine says discussions are underway but no formal demands have yet been presented by the striking workers.
