Pretoria - Workers at an Anglo Platinum [JSE:AMS] (Amplats) mine staged an underground strike on Friday in protest at the firing of several of their leaders, a union activist said.
"The workers are staying underground because they are cross that five of their leaders have been dismissed," Siphamandla Malchanya, an Amcu activist at Amplats, told Reuters.
Earlier on Friday Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe said that a meeting between government, mining houses and trade unions in Pretoria "will leave no stone unturned" in a bid to resolve problems in the mining industry.
President Jacob Zuma has tasked Motlanthe with leading the interactions with the unions and mining companies.
