Mooiplaats employees embark on an unprotected strike
Coal of Africa Limited (“the Company”) advises that the National Union of Mineworkers (“NUM”) affiliated
employees at Mooiplaats (“the Colliery”) have embarked on an unprotected strike following the suspension
of four workers. The employees are protesting against the suspension which is due to alleged misconduct
and breach of the picketing rules during the legal strike in October 2012.
All four underground sections have stopped operations and management is in discussion with NUM
representatives to resolve the matter and ensure the workers resume their shifts. Management has advised
the union that disruptions and continued strike action will have a severe impact on the viability of
Mooiplaats and is likely to result in job losses. The Colliery directly employs 368 people of which 244 are
NUM members.
The Company will further advise of any material change in this regard at the appropriate time
