 Article Headline: Thousands strike as Mandela-Zuma's Aurora gold retrenches
 Abstract: The fledgling gold-mining company Aurora Empowerment Systems is suffering strain. It is headed by former President Nelson Mandela's grandson and President Jacob Zuma's nephew and it is shedding a large number of jobs. A total of 1 440 jobs are being shed "temporarily" at the Grootvlei gold-mine in Springs, and possibly more than half of that number at the Orkney gold-mine, which could take the total to more than 2 160. When that news broke, National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka reported that 2 000-plus Aurora workers downed tools at the Grootvlei operation to protest nonpayment of wages and job-loss threats.
