The Minister of Mineral Resources Advocate Ngoako Ramatlhodi said a basket of possibilities to end the mining strike was given to the unions and business but a solution could not be reached. 

This as the minister on Tuesday withdrew from the negotiations to resolve the four month long strike in the platinum belt.

Minister Ramatlhodi said his main role was to create an environment conducive for the parties to begin talking to each other again and this has been achieved. 

Ministerial Spokesperson Mahlodi Muofhe said the reason why the Minister is withdrawing is because he sees that the two parties have again open the space for more debates and are closer to reaching agreements.
