ILLEGAL SIT-IN AT KUSASALETHU MINE CONTINUES
Johannesburg, 12 January
2017: Harmony Gold Mining
Company Limited (“Harmony”) advises that, regrettably,
attempts to persuade and encourage employees participating in the
illegal sit-in to return to surface at the Kusasalethu mine, near
Carletonville, have not yet been successful.
Eighteen
employees have been evacuated to surface as a result of ill health.
The most recent evacuee has symptoms of severe fatigue and
dehydration, and is being treated by Harmony’s medical
personnel.
Formal
demands have been received, which include payment of a special
bonus, the removal of the general manager and an assurance that
disciplinary action would not be pursued. Management has continued
to appeal to employees to return to surface in the interests of
safety and health, and to engage on the issues of concern through
established processes.
Harmony
CEO, Peter Steenkamp, has appealed to AMCU to continue displaying
responsible leadership and to work with management to resolve the
situation swiftly and safely.
Ends.
