RUSTENBURGParties involved in the platinum mining sector wage dispute should
spare no effort to find a win-win solution because a protracted strike
is not in anyone’s interest, North West Premier Thandi Modise said on
Thursday.

“Engaging in court cases and marches away from the negotiation table
is counter productive as it does not advance the parties towards
finding an amicable solutions to end the six-weeks long strike,”
Premier Modise said.

Modise expressed concern regarding acts of violence and intimidation
of non-striking workers.

“Regaining trust and mutual respect is critical to end the strike
which is beginning to impact negatively on the local economy and
putting a strain on relations between strikers and our communities,”
she said.-TDN
