The National of Union of Mineworkers (NUM) spokesperson, Livhuwani Mammburu, alleges the company – China Africa Precious Metals (CAPM) – refused to sign off on an eight percent wage agreement that was negotiated with the workers. Mammburu is yet to comment on the current status of the sit-in, but it has been reported the labour unions are still engaging the mining company on the matter.

This is still a developing story.
