[miningmx.com] — WORKERS have embarked on an illegal strike at gold
producer AngloGold Ashanti’s Kopanang mine, Reuters reported on Friday.
The news wire service quoted company spokesperson Alan Fine, who said that the
5,000 workers have not yet communicated their demands to the company.
“The night shift embarked on an unprotected strike at Kopanang and the morning shift
didn’t go down either,’ Fine said.
The National Union of Mineworkers said that the strikers wanted a wage of R12,500 a
month, mirroring demands at other mines.
