Hundreds of NUMSA-affiliated mineworkers gather at Impala mine for strike.

Hundreds of workers affiliated with metalworkers' union Numsa have gathered near shaft 8 of the Impala Platinum Mine in Freedom Park near Rustenburg on the second day of the indefinite strike over the alleged exploitation of workers at three companies contracted to supply services to the mine. Numsa claims that contract workers are paid a fraction of what permanent employers earn and have accused the companies of refusing to acknowledge the union as a bargaining agent. <a href="https://kaya959.co.za">Kaya 959</a>
