The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) says it is currently in negotiations with management of Impala Bafokeng Platinum Mine, in Rustenburg, in an attempt to resolve the striking workers issues. Operations at the mine have been brought to a standstill as more than 2000 workers stage an underground sit-in protest. The workers are frustrated over a number of issues including employee share schemes and pension funds after the mine was bought by Impala. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to NUM regional secretary, Geoffrey Moatshe.
