North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo has welcomed the news that Lonmin and AMCU have reached a wage settlement, thereby laying a firm ground for return to stability in Marikana.
The province of the North West is ready to work with all parties to implement a sustainable programme of unity, healing and reconciliation. Equally, we call on all parties particularly the leadership of unions to work with law enforcement authorities to normalise the situation.
Premier Mahumapelo has already invited AMCU,NUM, Lonmin and Bapo Ba Mogale tribal authority to a meeting to discuss practical steps to be taken by all parties including provincial government as a contribution to lasting peace in Marikana.
Government extends its gratitude to all parties and role players whose tireless efforts over the months have contributed to the resolution of the wage dispute.
Let peace reign in Marikana.
