employees.
“Harmony deplores the tragic and senseless loss of life in what appears to be inter-union
rivalry, not associated with the operations of the mine. Management, the recognised unions
and AMCU have continued to engage in talks about normalising the situation at
Kusasalethu, since workers returned to work on the 25th of October 2012 following the
unprotected strike. AMCU has applied for recognition and a process of membership
verification is underway. We urge all employees and the unions to refrain from violence and
follow the proper engagement processes that are in place,” said Graham Briggs, chief
executive officer of Harmony.
