Talks to end an ongoing strike in the coal mining sector have come to a standstill.
The National Union of Mineworkers says they have received a new wage offer from the Chamber of Mines on behalf of mining companies, but could not disclose the figure.
More than 150 000 coal miners around the country downed tools last weekend.
Meanwhile, unions in the petroleum and chemical industry have called off their nearly three-week-long strike.
Solidarity says they have accepted a revised wage offer from employers of an 8.5% increase.
Workers in the lower income bracket will receive a ten-percent increase.
