The National Union of Mineworkers said it supports the wage struggles waged by the National Union of South Africa's auto manufacturing industry.
 
On Monday about 30,000 workers downed tools, adding to the labor woes of the continent's largest economy which has been hit by violent unrest at its mines. 

NUM’s Spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka said employers must adhere to the demands by NUMSA.

Seshoka added that the demands are in line with the Congress of South African Trade Unions campaigns for a living wage.

"We will ensure that nothing happens until the demands are met.” Seshoka said.
