Marikana-Parties involved in the platinum mining sector wage dispute should intensify efforts to find a win-win solution to bring the protracted strike to end, North West Premier Thandi Modise appealed on Monday.

“There is a need for parties to renew their commitment to end the strike which has entered its eighth week as it is impacting negatively on our economy and putting a strain on relations between striking miners and our communities,” Premier Modise said.

Modise has expressed concern regarding continued acts of violence and intimidation of non-striking workers and called on striking workers to respect public and private properties and the freedom of movement of other citizens and those who wanted to go to work.-TDN
