Mines slow to ramp up as they recall 9,500 foreign nationals

SA’s mines are bringing back 9,500 employees in neighbouring countries as operations slowly ramp back to full production, with about half the workforce back at operations.

The number of screenings show that the industry is nowhere near a full return to operations. The cost of the lockdown in lost production and salaries paid during the period is estimated to be about R100bn. At AngloGold Ashanti’s Mponeng mine, the testing of 650 employees resulted in a third proving positive for the virus, prompting the company to close the world’s deepest mine. Those testing positive were all asymptomatic.

“Up to 40% of people with Covid-19 can be asymptomatic. That’s what we’re finding; very large numbers of people are asymptomatic,” she said.“Those who are asymptomatic have gone through screening but it doesn't pick up the disease.

So we do not have local SA'ns we can employ?

Out of the more than 10 Million unemployed Azanians, are there NO Azanians who can be employed by our OWN AZANIAN Mines?

Do we need them
