South Africa: Cosatu Completely Disapproves of Lily Mine's Decision to Resume Operations While Three Miners Are Still Trapped Underground

press release

The Congress of South African Trade Unions totally disapproves of the decision by Lily Mine's senior management to resume operations at the mine ,while three mine workers, Pretty Nkambule, Yvonne Mnisi and Solomon Nyerenda are still buried underground. This is not just insensitive but also point to the fact that the mine is prioritising profits before workers.

The decision to resume operations before the rescue operations have been finalised proves that Lily Mine views workers as cheap labour that is easily disposable.
