JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) on Monday called for the resignation of Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane, citing a complete breakdown in relations. Speaking at a press briefing to discuss recent announcements by AngloGold Ashanti and Bokoni Platinum Mine that they will be retrenching 8 500 and 2 651 workers respectively, the union stated that the relationship between itself and the Minister was “virtually nonexistent”.
