Platinum group metals (PGM) mining company Royal Bafokeng Platinum (RBPlat) will on Monday, April 20, begin phasing up to 50% of operational capacity while taking all practicable measures to reduce the risk, exposure and spread of the Covid-19 pandemic to secure the wellbeing of its employees. To mitigate the impact on the livelihood of employees and their families during this difficult time, RBPlat paid employees their salaries for the initial 21-day lockdown period, including medical aid and pension contributions and, where applicable, homeowners allowances and living-out allowances. During this lockdown, the executive committee and senior management voluntarily waived 33% of their salary.
