BACK TO BASICS

The National Union of Mineworkers observed with grave concern the announcement by the State President in his 2017 State of the Nation Address that Eskom must fast track the signing of agreements with the Independent Power Producers. At the time of this announcement, theNUM was not aware of the real impact of the statement. Within a few weeks of the President’s speech, there was pressure on Eskom from all corners, including some Cabinet Ministers to sign agreements with IPPs.

The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) will hold a press conference tomorrow (Wednesday) at its headquarters in Johannesburg. The press conference is about the issue of IPPs and the decision taken by Eskom to close down five power stations. The press conference will be addressed by the NUM leadership.

The NUM has noted with disappointment media reports on the pending shareholder's approval of the "hedging arrangements" of Khumo's DRD Gold shares, the Mining Right Holder (DRD Gold) backs this as long as it does not "encroach its current BEE status" according to the company statement.
