The board and executive management of precious metals mining company Sibanye-Stillwater on Monday unanimously elected to contribute a third of their remuneration, for the next three months, to the national Solidarity fund, established to cushion the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the most vulnerable members of South African society. This decision, Sibanye-Stillwater explained in a media release to Mining Weekly, followed last week’s commitment by the President of the Republic of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa, the Deputy President, Cabinet Ministers and Deputy Ministers to donate a third of their salaries, for the next three months, to the Solidarity fund.
