It’s also dealing with a deadlock in wage negotiations with AMCU after the union declared a wage dispute in the platinum belt.
Sibanye-Stillwater says the job cuts are less than originally expected. James Wellsted of Sibanye-Stillwater says the S189 process follows a detailed three-month review of the Marikana operation, post the Lonmin acquisition becoming effective in June 2019.
