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.
