Sibanye-Stilwater has dismissed more than 200 mineworkers who staged an underground protest at one of its shafts in Rustenburg last week. The miners, affiliated to unions NUM and AMCU, downed tools on Monday against the proposed Employee Share Ownership Scheme for Kroondal mine employees. The mine management said the dividends would not be paid due to an outstanding 50% acquisition of Anglo Platinum’s share in the Kroondal mine, which has yet to be concluded. Thabiso Tema speaks to Sibanye Stillwater spokesperson James Wellstead and AMCU President, Joseph Mathunjwa.

A recent ruling by the Johannesburg high court in South Africa has put the definition and control of the “family house” under African customary law under the spotlight. The ruling touches on sensitive issues of cultural heritage, statutory laws of property, and South Africa’s history of racial discrimination.It highlights the tension between customary norms, which underlie the idea of a communal family house, and the common law, which restricts ownership to the individual whose name appears in a title deed. The notion of a family house is not provided for in South African law. And prior to this ruling, it was unclear how control in this type of property should be exercised by extended family members.  Thabiso Tema spoke with Benedict Phiri, Founder and Managing Director of IusPrudentia Specialist Counsel.
