NUM and Cosatu to march at Sibanye Gold Stillwater in Westonaria

The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and Cosatu West Cluster will tomorrow (06 November 2017) march to Sibanye Gold Stillwater in Westonaria to present a memorandum of demands. This comes after Sibanye Gold has sent forced retrenchments termination letters to more than 2 000 workers at Cooke 1 to 3 last week. The company has already instructed workers not to go underground as it is preparing to put the operations on care and maintenance. The SACP, SANCO, and ANC in Westonaria will also join the march tomorrow.

The details of the march are as follows:

Date: 06 November 2017
Venue: Lebanon Red Club in Westonaria
Time: 12h00

The mineworkers will start their march at 12 pm from Libanon Red Club in Westonaria to the Sibanye Gold Stillwater Corporate Offices.

The NUM, alliance partners and community have vowed to embark on marches should the Sibanye Gold continue to disregard their demands of retrenching more than 2 000 workers.
