The arrest of the chief executive of Implats’ Implala Platinum Rustenburg mining operations was on Friday welcomed by the Mineral Resources and Energy Parliamentary chairperson Sahlulele Luzipo, who on Thursday called on law enforcement agencies to act decisively against mining executives who contravened South Africa’s Covid-19 lockdown regulations. Impala Platinum Rustenburg CE Mark Munroe was granted bail of R60 000 after appearing in court on Friday. This followed Impala Platinum Limited, a subsidiary of Implats, being charged with alleged contraventions of certain regulations issued in terms of the provisions of the Disaster Management Act 57 of 2002.
