[Vrotappel]

Blame the employer, nice. Rather blame the cANCer government for not acting.

They are acting.
Soon they will own the mines.

Tonight there will be retaliatory attacks.

Time to arrest the union leaders and lock them up for murder, screw due process in this case....

This does not compute. I think we live in a democratic country last time I checked.

 

[Wall]

 

[rebel998]

Time to bring out the army.

They're so incompetent, they aren't even able to protect JZ's assets in other African countries.

 

[rebel998]

Might've worked in the old days.

"We are not a violent nation" - another lie from JZ.

 

[Seriously]

It won't work unfortunately, it will end up with large amounts of bloodshed

So be it! For the sake of our future!

Yes, where the right of life supersedes the right of striking and no one is ever killed for not striking...

And where people are never brought to book for the killings during strikes. Remember the 10 people killed by the Marikana miners before the incident?

Thats the problem.. the future would be a potentially very messy place if we go down that road. We would probably end up in a worse situation in terms of violence.

The problem is that the mine workers want to be paid similarly to mine workers in places like Australia... however, those foreign workers offer MUCH higher productivity, so for our mines to be competitive globally, the individual workers can't get paid the same.

But try and explain that to the striking workers...

Earlier this morning Amplats CEO Chris Griffith was under attack for his R17 million package which John Robbie said it does not make sense in the context of the situation.

Chris also reported that majority of strikers want to accept current offer and come back to work.
