Small number of Sishen workers on unprotected strike
Kumba has confirmed that about 300 employees at the Company's Sishen Mine in the Northern Cape have embarked on unprotected industrial action since last night.
The employees are not represented by any of the recognised unions and their exact demands are not clear.The action is limited to one area within the vast mining area of the open cast mine leaving most of the mine unaffected.
The action is being dealt with in line with the Company's labour relations procedure,with due consideration to the safety of the vast majority of workers who are not taking part in the unprotected strike.
The Company will provide further updates as appropriate.
