JOHANNESBURG – Sibanye-Stillwater intends to take advantage of the lapse of the six-month moratorium on retrenchments after its merger with Lonmin and axe more than 5 270 workers in December, with unions on Wednesday slamming the jobs bloodbath. Sibanye announced on Wednesday that it would cut more than 5 270 jobs at its Marikana operation and associated services, which were previously under Lonmin in North West province. This consists of 3 904 employees and 1 366 contractors.

Sibanye said this was pursuant to ongoing financial losses experienced at these operations with certain shafts having reached the end of their economic reserve lives. The group proposes to place on care and maintenance loss-making operations at the East 1 , West 1 and Hossy shafts and the open-cast operations.

Sibanye spokesperson James Wellsted said that the section 189 notice means that the miner would now enter into 60 days engagement with stakeholders, including unions, with the hope of finding constructive ways to avoid large job losses.

South African banks prepared for biggest strike in 99 years | IOL Business ReportSouth African banks are urging clients to use digital channels as the industry prepares for what could be its biggest strike since 1920. A ploy by the ANC to distract while they push something else through that the dont want the South Africans to see. Really getting tired of these protests, considering that they never see the 'bigger' picture that has a ripple effect on the economy and eventually the loss of jobs. cryptocurrency Time to finally make this the global financial standard.. They can strike but in the near future the whole banking system going to be electronic and paper money will be in museum of history.
