ILLEGAL SIT-IN AT KUSASALETHU MINE CONTINUES
 
Johannesburg, 12 January 2017: Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (“Harmony”) advises that, regrettably, attempts to persuade and encourage employees participating in the illegal sit-in to return to surface at the Kusasalethu mine, near Carletonville, have not yet been successful.
 
Eighteen employees have been evacuated to surface as a result of ill health. The most recent evacuee has symptoms of severe fatigue and dehydration, and is being treated by Harmony’s medical personnel.
 
Formal demands have been received, which include payment of a special bonus, the removal of the general manager and an assurance that disciplinary action would not be pursued. Management has continued to appeal to employees to return to surface in the interests of safety and health, and to engage on the issues of concern through established processes.
 
Harmony CEO, Peter Steenkamp, has appealed to AMCU to continue displaying responsible leadership and to work with management to resolve the situation swiftly and safely.
Ends.
