THEMBELANI EMPLOYEES PREVENTED FROM EXITING UNDERGROUND
Anglo American Platinum confirms that approximately 2400 employees
at its Thembelani Mine in Rustenburg are being prevented from
exiting underground by a group of employees. We confirm that this
is as a result of the suspension of four shop stewards for
inappropriate behaviour which is against our Behavioural
Procedure.
Our protection services teams are on the ground attending to the
situation. Management is currently engaging with recognised Unions
at regional and at head office levels to resolve the situation.
The company has issued communication to all its employees
informing them that there is zero tolerance to any illegal actions
which include intimidation, threats of violence and assault. Any
employee who instigates or participates in any of the illegal
activities is reminded that the company will not hesitate to take
the appropriate measures and employees will be subjected to
disciplinary action which could lead to dismissal.
We continue to encourage our employees to treat each other with
care and respect and to live by the spirit of the peace and
stability framework signed by all our recognised unions. We
remain committed to engaging with employees and urge them to raise
their concerns through the available relevant channels.
