The Congress of South African Trade Union
in the North West has raised its
concern regarding the delay in the payment of workers by Aurora .
The workers about 1 700 were allegedly
exploited by Aurora directors during
the time when they were still controlling the mine.
The matter was taken to court whereby the
directors were ordered to pay the workers what is due to them.
Cosatu Provincial Secretary Solly Phetoe
said the new company has been making promises to employ workers for some times.
Phetoe said they are still doing care and
maintenances with less than fifty people out off over 1700 workers who lost
their jobs due to exploitation by the Aurora directors.
“We call on the DOL, DMR and the Master of
the High Court, with the joint liquidators to understand the feelings of those
workers who have not been working for many years, who died due to stress and
workers whose children are expelled from schools and universities due to
non-payment Phetoe added.
