The National Union of Mineworkers said it
is shocked and sadden by the Glencore’s decision to close down Optimum Cola
mine in Mpumalanga
NUM Regional Secretary Stanley Lebelo said
the proposed closure of these operations would affect approximately 1 000
permanent employees and 500 contractors.
Lebelo said this has come as a shock to us
especially that the company is not making any profit as they have been making a
loss since 2012.
“The question we are now asking ourselves
is why were we not warned earlier about the financial state of the mine so that
we could have assisted or explored options that could have saved the company”
Lebelo added.
