Bloemfontein - Allanridge residents say they are unhappy about the fact that nearby Harmony Target Gold Mine allegedly hires people from outside.
Last week Nyakallong residents outside the town protested and looted foreign owned shops. The notice to march to the mine was dismissed by the municipality.
Matjhabeng Local Municipality spokesperson Kgojane Matutle says they received an application letter from the Allanridge Development Group regarding the march.
He says the march couldn’t take place because they were approached by different people when they went to meet the group.
Marian van der Walt from Harmony Target Gold Mine says their employment policy stipulates that they only deal with recognised community structures. She says since 2012, 65 % of vacancies were filled by local community members from Allanridge, Odendaalsrus, Nyakallong and Welkom.
