Thirteen Thousand Mining Jobs Threatened In South Africa by MiningNG: 6:35am On Aug 21, 2018
The plan to shed off 13,000 mining jobs has infuriated South Africa’s Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) which is spoiling for a fight.

The association has vowed to intensify its efforts to stop Impala Platinum Mine from the job cuts.

AMCU president Joseph Mathunjwa said the union would monitor the situation closely and do everything possible to exercise the mandate of its members‚ including embarking on industrial action where necessary.

“Losing your job is a harrowing experience – especially in South Africa today with its unemployment rate of 27.2% in the second quarter of this year,” Mathunjwa said on Tuesday at a media briefing on the looming cuts.

Last week the North West Province-based Impala Platinum Mine announced plans to shed as many as 13,000 jobs over two years, a move Mining Minister Gwede Mantashe publicly condemned.

“The mining industry has been seized with optimisation and mechanisation discourse for a while now. It is becoming clear‚ through heightened retrenchment efforts‚ that the sector is bent on changing mining systems to use a lean workforce towards hyper profits‚” Mathunjwa warned.

He added: “AMCU will participate in the retrenchment consultations at Impala‚ and we will do our best to save as many jobs as possible. We will spare no resource in our struggle to protect the livelihoods of mineworkers.”

Good news for Nigerians in South Africa to over take their mining job Kia kia
Re: Thirteen Thousand Mining Jobs Threatened In South Africa by Nobody: 7:40am On Aug 23, 2018
This is a country where things work. Where people protest against injustice about to be meted out on them. Nothing like the workers to be sacked are not from my region


But come to Nigeria, if an Igbo man is about to be sacked, a Yoruba/Hausa man will pay deaf ears to it. Vice versa.

Tribalism has done us more harm in this country than good.

Don't be upset. Just try to understand that we are of different tribes and languages. The Olu of my village never met or discussed with the Sultan of your village. It was one white man that joined us together to form Nigeria. Nigeria does not mean anything to anybody so we cannot join hands and protest what we don't know.

The life Nigerians live daily reminds you that Humans evolved from the animal, hence we share the common survival instinct trait. We strive , compete and claw each other to death literally to achieve freedom and financial security. Just like the animals, we try to protect our pack (family). But at the end of the day when faced with the tough choice we bare our fangs and bite down hard, because really there are no saints in the animal kingdom, only breakfast and dinner.

Let them keep protesting. Old things are pass away. All things become new.

Old jobs must be automated or it drags them down.

excuses upon excuses

how about protesting at the state or local govt level

that's where it really starts?

Or you will also come with the excuse that the "olu" in your village did not meet the other ones in your local govt or state to form them?

Let us stop creating excuses
