NUM tells the ANC to reject the mining sector blackmail

The National Union of Mineworkers is concerned over the current threat by the platinum sector to close mines.

NUM’s national secretary for education Ecliff Tantsi said their belief is that if the mines are not profited in the best price, it means that operators are making capacity to operate these mines.

Tantsi said that it would mean they won’t be able to operate, their licenses must be renewed and they must send their operations to people who can operate them.

The NUM advises the ANC, the state and the alliance partners to reject the blackmail and move forward in getting sustainable solutions to the triple challenges facing the country.
