Amcu president Joseph Mathunjwa has accused management at Sibanye-Stillwater’s Lonmin mine of instigating another Marikana by offering workers paltry wage increases as salary negotiations continued in the platinum sector.

JOHANNESBURG - Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union president Joseph Mathunjwa has accused management at Sibanye-Stillwater’s Lonmin mine of instigating another Marikana by offering workers paltry wage increases as salary negotiations continued in the platinum sector.

Seven years ago, 34 mineworkers were killed by the police after a lengthy strike calling for a minimum wage of R12,500.The agitation was written all over his face as he compared the mine’s conduct during this year’s wage negotiations to how things turned sour to the point of death in 2012. Mathunjwa was also convinced that the mine and government were hell-bent on realising Amcu’s demise for taking on mining bosses years ago.
