A thorough independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the illegal sit-in, which lasted nearly 48 hours, will be conducted. Production at the mine will proceed over the weekend.

Harmony CEO, Peter Steenkamp said: “We are pleased that a resolution has been reached and that all our employees have returned to surface safely.”
