An incident occurred today at our Siphumelele mine in the Rustenburg area, involving members of the Workers Committee and NUM shop stewards. Workers committee members are contesting NUM’s legitimacy at the mine and demanding that NUM vacate its offices. The Company is currently in the process of validating union membership at Rustenburg and the mines north of the Pilanesburg.

A total of nine employees were injured when rubber bullets were fired by Anglo American Platinum security personnel. As they were attempting to evacuate the NUM shop stewards who were trapped in their offices, three security personnel sustained minor injuries during this incident. All 12 injured employees received medical attention for non-life threatening injuries. No one was fatally injured during this incident Anglo American Platinum expresses its deep concern about this incident and appeals for its employees to remain calm and respect the company’s dispute resolution process.
