Marikana - The president of Amcu, Joseph Mathunjwa, urged members on Wednesday to remain united and strong in the face of efforts by the three major platinum companies to force miners to end a 16-week stoppage.
"Let's stay strong.
"Yes it's difficult, but let's hold each other by the hand and stay strong. Onward!" Mathunjwa told thousands of strikers at a rally near the Marikana operations of Lonmin.
He said the spirit of the miners would not be broken by companies taking the offer directly to them.
Mathunjwa said the strike would continue because members still did not accept the latest wage offer.
