This week:
President Jacob Zuma draws the line on wildcat strikes.
Labour trafficking rears its ugly head in South African mining.
And, there’s a new South African base for an Australian technology firm’s mining innovation surge into Africa.
President Jacob Zuma has drawn the line on wildcat strikes, implicitly declaring unequivocal zero tolerance on future industrial action that is outside of the law. He announced a new programme of action for the troubled South African mining sector, with Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe and three Cabinet Ministers being tasked with restoring stability and certainty to the mining sector, which Zuma described as an essential “cornerstone of the South African economy”.
