TRI-PARTITE ANNOUNCEMENT ON ANGLO AMERICAN PLATINUM RESTRUCTURING PROPOSALS
The Tri-partite (Department of Mineral Resources, Anglo American Platinum and organised labour (NUM,
AMCU, NUMSA, UASA)), chaired by the Department of Mineral Resources, met on Thursday (24 January
2013), to explore mechanisms of engagement on Anglo American Platinum’s restructuring proposals.
This followed the meeting held between the Minister of Mineral Resources and Anglo American Platinum on
17 January 2013, in which constructive discussions were held and a commitment made to engage positively
on Anglo American Platinum’s restructuring proposals.
At the meeting of the 28 January 2013 parties resolved to:
• postpone the continuation of the Section 189 process under the Labour Relations Act, that had
commenced on 15 January 2013, in order to allow for a detailed consultation process to take place
between the DMR, Anglo American Platinum and organised labour;
• expedite the consultation process and take no more than 60 days, beginning 30 January 2013.
The tripartite members re-committed to engage constructively for the benefit of all stakeholders and will
communicate progress updates as and when appropriate.
