The National Union of Mineworkers said that 66 of its members are staging a sit-in underground at the Gold One Modder East Operations in Springs, east of Johannesburg.

This follow after rock drill operators embarked on an illegal strike on Tuesday demanding a R250 bonus per blast.

They have said they will not resurface until their demands are met.


NUM’s Livhuwani Mammburu says they are concerned about their safety underground and their lives.
