Turkey top envoy goes to Niger in bid to secure uranium supplies
The trip comes after Niger’s military government withdrew mining rights from Canadian and French companies to develop uranium deposits.
JOHANNESBURG, Dec 14 (Reuters) – The president of South Africa’s Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) said on Friday that the union’s Sibanye-Stillwater members remain on strike, disputing the miner’s argument the action is now illegal.
Joseph Mathunjwa was speaking at a media conference organised to respond to Sibanye’s decision to extend a wage agreement in place with a number of other unions to AMCU members – a move it said meant the AMCU strike was no longer protected.
