Sibanye-Stillwater chief executive Neal Froneman has called for a process similar to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) for the mining industry after the tragic events of Marikana, where 34 miners were murdered by police.

Johannesburg - The head of one of the country’s biggest mining companies has called for a process similar to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the industry.

He insisted that his company’s inaugural Marikana Memorial Lecture was not a public relations exercise and that his company was not trying to move on and ignore what happened in the past. During AMCU’s memorial lecture, Mathunjwa accused Lonmin and the mines’ current owners Sibanye-Stillwater, of being thieves that came to steal and destroy.

He warned that the Covid-19 pandemic and the economic crisis the country is sinking into will get worse in the next year or two.
