Ramatlhodi wants to end strike this week

Johannesburg - Mineral Resources Minister Ngoako Ramatlhodi said on Wednesday he hoped to resolve the five-month platinum strike, the longest and costliest strike in the industry's history, this week.

"We are hoping to have it end by the end of this week," Ramatlhodi told Reuters.

Amcu members at Lonmin [JSE:LON], Impala Platinum [JSE:IMP] and Anglo Platinum [JSE:AMS] downed tools on January 23, demanding a basic monthly salary of R12 500.

On Wednesday leader of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) Joseph Mathunjwa said the strike cannot go on forever, reported Sapa.

"The strike cannot be forever,"  he said. "The process is ongoing."
