JSE- and NYSE-listed Sibanye-Stillwater has vaccinated just over 8 500 of its South African employees in the last week, bringing the total number of vaccinated employees to 18 500.
About 23% of the company’s 80 000-strong workforce in South Africa are now vaccinated.
Sibanye hosted representatives of the departments of Health and Mineral Resources and Energy, on July 29, for them to observe the vaccination programme currently under way at the company’s platinum group metal operations in Rustenburg and Marikana.
Sibanye says the vaccination of its employees in the mining sector and communities surrounding mine sites will contribute to government’s goal of national population immunity by February 2022.
