Impala Platinum strike | NUM urges workers to report back to work

JOHANNESBURG - The National Union of Mineworkers has called on dismissed Impala Bafokeng Platinum Mine workers to return to work.

The union says it was successful in negotiating with the mine after it had acted against some of the miners who had instigated an underground sit-in.

NUM says Impala Bafokeng Mine management has agreed to withdraw the suspension of 38 miners who had been dismissed for their involvement in the three-day underground protest action in December.

Geoffrey Moatshe, the NUM Rustenburg Regional Secretary, spoke with eNCA.
