The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) is calling for an inquest after mining house Sibanye-Stillwater records the fifth death at its Marikana platinum operations. The Union says
that Sibanye-Stillwater is cutting corners in safety protocols and that the government fails to ensure the implementation of the necessary health and safety protocols. AMCU calls for a formal inquest into the record rates of fatalities in the South African Mining Industry (SAMI).
The latest death happened at approximately 8:45 at Sibanye-Stillwater’s Marikana East 3 Shaft, when a Rock Drill Operator (RDO) was killed by a dislodged rock while performing an early entry examination on Panel 1, 24 X-CUT at 10 level East.
