Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu)

Joseph Mathunjwa's cancer is spreading further and further and affecting more and more lives. How can one person be so selfish?

People need to start working. Hungry people are deperate people and that can lead to all kinds of criminal behaviour like theft, murder, suicide.

Phantsi ngo mathunjwa.

I really thought that all the striking and protesting were over when the African Natural Corruption came into power.

Stop striking we are hungry

Stop

Stop with this madness

Die myne moet begin saam staan en begin mense weg jaag was deel is van die strike !!! Die mense wat rerag wil werk lei onder als wat verder gebeur omdat die goverment net mooi NIKS doen omtrent die strike nie, dit het lankal terug hand uit geruk en is n onwettige strike,hulle was n tyd gegee en dit was al einde Januarie 2014 verby!!! Jaag hul weg en gee mense werk wat WIL WERK !!!

Please stop the strike, no work no pay no food, no work.

Word on the streets is that a person in Tekwane was killed and his shack burned down, for he wanted to go back to work. I'm working in Photsaneng, and many people are scared, but they want to go back to work. Crime is rising. In Luka people sit without electricity because the cables was stolen. Job losses is irreversible, damage already has been done. Retrenchment is happening all over Rustenburg. Other companies cut the staff salaries with 50%. 83 Business closed that we know of. 300 car's taken back by banks in one week. People are selling their possessions to put food on the table. a Person commited suicide because this is to much. How long can we last. Rustenburg is in a disaster zone. Please AMCU, this strike is doing more harm than good.

Stop this strike!!!!!!!!!!! It is harming our country as well as the people working on the mines, their families and a lot of businesses. Open your eyes. Pray for all that is suffering from this strike. May the Lord forgive them, because they don't know what they are doing.

We already have a high rate of unemployed, please stop the strike that we can maintain the life style that has been promised to us since the fall of apartheid. PLEASE STOP STRIKING YOU ARE CRIPPELING OUR COUNTRY!!!

The union is telling its members that the mines cannot close because the world needs the platinum. Both Russia and Canada have plenty of platinum and if there is no more platinum, a substitute like rhodium will be used. Rustenburg is NOT the only source of platinum.

Stop the madness

We need a Margaret Thatcher or this country will go under.

This is madness and economic suicide

Die stakende mynwerkers gaan onnodig so aan. Hulle sit almal nou sonder fondse om voedsel aan te skaf. Hulle het gevra op 'n voorskot selaris wat die myne nie wil toe staan, met reg ook. Daar is mense wat wil gaan werk en vra om terug te gaan maar hulle kan nie. Dit maak my briesend om die mense so te sien swaar kry en die kindertjies moet maar daar onder ly.ek persoonlik dink die petisie is 'n baie goeie idee en ek bid dat daar iets van sal kom. Baie sterkte aan al die mensies in en om Rustenburg wat so persoonlik geraak word soos ons.

May this insanity stop sooner than later

It is unthinkable that any government anywhere else would allow this chaos and devastating impact to contintnue. But then, we are in South Africa...

we are all affected by this strike and we really wanted this to end as soon as possible because it will also affect the young one at school,if it carry on like this we will loose our jobs

Dis wonderlik dat iemand iets probeer doen aan
Hierdie "speelgoed" uit die kot gooi houding wat werkers het.
Waar is dankbaarheid? Ek kruip mens nie voor jy kan loop
Nie? Almal soek kits rykdom. Sukkel met n klein salaris is maar hoe almal van ons n bestaan begin maak het. Dus gulsigheid wat die oorsaak van die strike is. Niks meer en niks minder!!

We trust problems will be solved and people all go back to work. It is not fair to strike and keep people from work. It is very irresponsible towards families and children.

please let this strike end so that everyone can return to normal again.

Stop this immediately. You are ruining the future of this country and the future of your children. Nobody wins in this situation. In the end, the mine(s) will close, leaving everybody without an income.

We need to get rid off all the brainless, money eating people in government. And to all the idiots that starts unions for their own pockets.
