The
National Union of Mineworkers said the decision by mining companies in the Northern Cape
The
union alleges that the Assmang Blackrock mine is intending to retrench
three-hundred and five workers which would result in three-thousand-seven-hundred
and fifty families being affected.
NUM’s
Kimberley Regional Coordinator Lucas Phiri said NUM is shocked with the
decision the mines are taking in the Northern Cape to dismiss numbers under
this drought were people are unemployed.
Phiri
said they believe that these mines have been making profit for quite sometime,
but when things do not go well from their side the first people to suffer is
the ordinary mineworkers on the ground.
