Fin24 user Rudi de Klerk has castigated the miners for demanding unrealistic wage increases and suggested they should rather quit their jobs. He writes:
Why do they keep on striking instead of submitting their resignation? Remember, (mining) is all they know and can do for a living... or sit at home and starve.
Why don't the unions employ the workers if they are so clever and wealthy? All they managed to do is destroying the country with their demands! (EFF leader Julius) Malema is therefore not the only one to follow Zimbabwe.
The people that insist on striking at present don't want to work in the mines, so let them find another job to prove they are worth much more money - willingly and democratically.
