JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – All workers who participated in a work stoppage at Africa-focused AngloGold’s Mponeng and Moab Khotsong mines on Saturday, resumed work on Sunday evening, spokesperson Alan Fine has indicated.

About 2 500 workers at the Moab Khotsong mine, 160 km south-west of Johannesburg, and all of the 5 500 workers at the Mponeng mine, near Carletonville, failed to report for their shifts in a dispute over Saturday working arrangements.

Fine told Mining Weekly Online on Monday that the company was currently in discussions with the relevant unions, including the Association of Mining and Construction Union, regarding their complaints.

Meanwhile, AngloGold confirmed that, amid the halt, a worker had been hospitalised in a critical condition after being stabbed while walking to work at Moab Khotsong on Saturday.

Fine noted that the victim had since been stabilised.
