More than 15-thousand workers affiliated to trade union AMCU have downed tools at all the Sibanye-Stillwater gold mines across the country. This comes after negotiations between management and the union deadlocked over workers' wages and safety. Union president Joseph Mathunjwa says a lack of investment by mining companies is negatively affecting the safety of workers. He says the top ten executives earn millions of rand a month including bonuses but are refusing to give workers a 12-thousand-500-rand minimum wage. Our reporter Aphumelele Mdlalane is at the Sibanye still water in Theunissen and she joins us. For more news, visit: sabcnews.com
