Sibanye-Stillwater Resolves Illegal Sit-In at Kroondal Mine, Plans Employee Engagement

Multinational mining and metals processing group Sibanye-Stillwater announced it will engage with employees and representative unions at its Kroondal mine following the end of an illegal underground sit-in at the Kwezi shaft.

Sibanye confirmed that all employees involved in the sit-in had exited the Kwezi shaft and returned to the surface by mid-afternoon on Wednesday.

The sit-in, which began on Monday, June 3, involved more than 200 employees. The protest was initiated due to grievances over the non-receipt of employee share option payments. However, the company clarified that Kroondal employees had not yet qualified for these payments.

“Now that the illegal sit-in has been resolved, the company will engage with employees and the representative unions in accordance with existing, standard processes and mechanisms,” Sibanye stated.

“The company will not condone illegal actions by any stakeholders that may compromise the safety and wellbeing of employees or the sustainability of our operations.

We appeal to employees to use the established grievance mechanisms or their union representatives to address any issues or concerns.”
