North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo has welcomed the announcement that the five months strike in the platinum sector will end with workers returning to work on Wednesday.

“We wish to commend parties for finally reaching a settlement to avert a near human catastrophe that has impacted negatively on our economy and pledge our support for the healing process that needs to unfold in the aftermath of the violence and losses suffered during the protracted strike,” Premier Mahumapelo said.

Mahumapelo said that ending the strike will pave the way for peace and stability to be restored and for mining operations to return to full productivity.-TDN
