The National Union of Mineworkers said it is disgusted at the action by Lonmin to refuse to allow a NUM member to return to work after winning a case at the CCMA to be reinstated.

NUM Acting Spokesperson Livhuwani Mammburu said it is disturbing that a company like Lonmin is not doing anything to protect a vulnerable woman in one of its operation in Rustenburg.

“We are very disappointed at Lonmin’s behaviour in refusing our member to go to back to work.” Mammburu added

Mammburu also said this happens in the work of a peace accord signed last year, in the mining industry though which all the stake holders had committed to promote in peace and members from committing acts of violence and intimidation in the workplace.

Through contacting Lonmin it refused to comment on the matter.
