Entry-level wages double since Marikana demand: Sibanye-Stillwater

Mineworkers, who fought for a R12 500 wage, are now earning more than double that benchmark

Sibanye-Stillwater, a mining company, has reported a substantial increase in entry-level wages for its workers, 14 years after the tragic Marikana massacre. The wages of workers who demanded a R12 500 wage in 2012 are now more than double that amount, according to the company's Stakeholder Relations Manager, Thabisile Phumo. This development comes as the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) prepares to commemorate the 14th anniversary of the Marikana massacre.
