Sibanye suspends AMCU members at Kroondal

Diversified miner Sibanye Gold has suspended six shop stewards who are members of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction (AMCU) at its Kroondal operations, pending internal disciplinary proceedings related to various charges including intimidation of employees. One of the six was the AMCU branch chairperson against whom criminal charges had been laid with the South African Police Services after the employee allegedly repeatedly made direct threats to a member of Kroondal mine management.
