A formal announcement on whether talks over Anglo American Platinum’s (Amplats) planned retrenchment of nearly 14 000 mineworkers had succeeded in saving jobs is expected tomorrow.

The meeting followed discussions on Thursday, between the company and Mineral Resources Minister Susan Shabangu.

“[The] meeting received suggestions on a number of interventions,” Mineral Resources spokesperson Zingaphi Jakuja said.

“Amplats has been allowed space to consult internally on these and a formal pronouncement will be made on Monday by the stakeholders.”

Amplats declined to comment to the outcomes of the meeting.

Earlier in January, Amplats said it planned a restructuring that could lead to the retrenchment of 14 000 workers. About 13 000 of them were from Rustenburg, in the North West.
