South Africa’s largest platinum mining labour union said it may conclude a wage deal with producers as early as next week if “minor” outstanding issues can be resolved. Members of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union may accept revised offers from Anglo American Platinum, Impala Platinum and Sibanye-Stillwater, Jimmy Gama, the union’s chief negotiator and treasurer, said on Thursday. Settling the wage dispute without too much disruption could pave the way for Sibanye and Implats to resume paying dividends.
