Amplats opens its legal process against Strikers
The world's top platinum producer, Anglo
American Platinum, has started disciplinary action including possible dismissal
against workers taking part in an illegal strike in South Africa, the company
said on Thursday.The company, a unit of global mining giant Anglo American,
also said that attendance at its four mines near Rustenburg, 120 km (70 miles)
northwest of Johannesburg, remained below 20 percent despite repeated threats
to get tough. A wave of wildcat strikes is roiling South Africa's mining
sector despite the end of an illegal six-week stoppage at platinum producer
Lonmin in which 46 people were killed. Amplats' chief executive Chris Griffith
said on Wednesday the company would start making good on threats to sack
workers if they did not report for duty within 24 hours.
“Despite repeatedly urging our employees to come back to work,
attendance at our Rustenburg operations remains low,” he said. “We have been
left with no choice but to initiate disciplinary action, which could lead to
dismissals.”
Rustenburg labour activist and community representative Mametlwe
Sebei struck a defiant tone, saying striking Amplats workers were not
intimidated by the ultimatum.
“No amount of threats are going to move our workers from their
demands,” he told Reuters.
The demands include an increase in a minimum monthly wage to
12,500 rand ($1,500), more than double that currently earned by those at the
bottom of the pay scale.
When rival Impala Platinum fired 17,000 illegal strikers in the
same area in January, it unleashed a wave of violence that closed its
Rustenburg operation, the world's largest platinum mine, for 6 weeks. Three
people were killed.

South Africa: the mining crisis upsets the social model
The violent crisis which shakes the South African mines shows that one part of workers doesn’t trust traditional syndicates anymore, until now a guarantee of certain social peace in spite the deep inequalities of the society. The high increasing of the salary has been done this week after a long period of negotiation between the government and the syndicates which claim more money in their salary and is the cause of 46 deaths and has also destruct buildings.
Since this movement, a lot of observatories see it as an invitation for others mining site in pushing them to launch others strikes of the same kind. It’s already the case since some days with Anglo American Gold and platinum producers and Gold Fields, where the strikers feel encouraged and motivated by what is considered as a victory to their colleagues in Marikana. But as a government, they fear anarchy. Since long-time, in South Africa , social relations are formalised, representative syndicate having the exclusivity of negotiation with employees, through a process extremely beaconed.
In the past, syndicates were affirmed as one of force of opposition most active against the apartheid era.

Summit of the Non –Aligned Movement
Syria; Nothing special
United Nation
has held a meeting in Teheran from the 26th to the 31st of
August with a presentation of some presidents and ministers of foreign affaires
and 15 members of the National Security Council concerning the humanitarian Syrian
Crisis. Unfortunately, this summit was achieved without any resolutions;
therefore the occidental power has threatened the president Bachar al Assad of the
military intervention. The adoption of a resolution seems impossible due to the
fact of the lack of cooperation from Russian and China which protect their interest.
Until when is this situation going to be like that? When we realise that actually
a generation is dying by bombardments and attacks. Face in this situation which
chokes the human conscience, we just have to believe that everything will be
fine as soon as possible.
