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.
A strike of about 7,000 workers over jobs cuts at miner Exxaro due to start on Monday has been postponed, South Africa’s National Union of Mineworkers said in a statement on Sunday.
Exxaro, which mines for coal, zinc and mineral sands, obtained a court interdict on Friday to prevent the work stoppage on Monday but the union has vowed to pursue legal action to go ahead with the strike at a later date.
