Solidarity welcomes court case over Mining Charter being replaced by a negotiating process
19 February 2018
Solidarity welcomes the agreement reached between the Chamber of Mines, the Department of Mineral Resources and the Presidency to have a negotiating process replacing litigation in court. This is the very request interested parties had made to the Department of Mineral Resources in April 2017, but it required the intervention of Pres. Cyril Ramaphosa and the Presidency to realise this logical outcome.
According to Solidarity General Secretary Gideon du Plessis, the following six conditions must be met for negotiations to be a success though:
Those are:
1. Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane and the lackeys he had appointed in the department must be replaced immediately.
