Wesizwe Platinum’s Bakubung Platinum Mine (BPM) in South Africa, which temporarily closed on July 20 due to safety concerns caused by the ongoing unprotected strike, will not resume operations anytime soon.
The company said on Thursday that the mine will remain closed “until further notice” as the industrial action is still ongoing.
“Management is working tirelessly to resolve the matter and is engaging with relevant stakeholders, to find an amicable solution,” it said.
“BPM remains committed to addressing the concerns of the employees, while also safeguarding the interests of our valued shareholders.”
Wesizwe could not reveal the demands of the striking workers.
