North West Office of the Premier, 23 May 2014 North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo condemns slaying of non-striking mineworker North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo has condemned the slaying of a mineworker who was allegedly stabbed to death while on his way to work at the Anglo American Platinum Mine on Thursday. "Despicable acts of violence and intimidation of non-striking workers call for parties involved in the wage dispute to find each other to bring the strike to an end. One death of a miner due to violence associated with the protracted strike is a death too many," Premier Mahumapelo said. In appealing to communities to assist police in their investigations to ensure that those behind the senseless violence unleashed on non-striking miners are behind bars, Mahumapelo also called to employers to tighten the security of non-striking workers who are reporting for duty. The National Union of Mineworkers had reportedly claimed that the death of the slain mineworkers whom they declared was their member brings to five such brutal killings experienced in the platinum belt in the past two weeks.
