Kusasalethu employees represented by the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM),
Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU), Solidarity and UASA
(collectively referred to as “the Unions”).
The Unions have accepted Harmony’s rationale for issuing the section 189 in terms of the
LRA, which may lead to the possible closure of the mine and the possible retrenchment of all
employees. Although the temporary closure of Kusasalethu due to safety and security
reasons remains in place, the conditions under which the mine could be re-opened were
discussed.
