The Congress of South African Trade Union has welcomed the dismissal of
an application by Khulubase Zuma to have claims of about 1.5 billion-Rand
against Aurora Empowerment System set aside.
Aurora's liquidators went to go to court to hold the company's directors
responsible this as the liquidators claim that they were stripped of their
assets of the liquidated Pamodzi Gold's mines in Springs, Gauteng, and Orkney.Meanwhile the National Union of Mineworkers say the dismissal is a victory for the poor mineworkers.
Cosatu Spokesperson Patrick Craven said the company has been trying everything possible to delay being brought and forced to pay the workers and all the other creditors what is due to them.
“We hope that finally on the 23rd of March justice will be done and this tragic chapter of labour relations in South Africa will come to an end so that the workers can at last have some money and not have to rely on charity” Craven added.
