The Minerals Council South Africa has taken issue with those who say the mining industry is AN epicentre of COVID-19 in South Africa.
The Council says these assertions are not only inaccurate but serve to spread fear among mineworkers and communities in which they reside.
There are now 679 confirmed COVID-19 cases at various mines countrywide.
There are more than 230,000 miners currently back at work.
Unions say they're concerned about the steady increase in infections.
Let's discuss this, we are joined by AMCU President Joseph Mathunjwa, Dr Thuthula Balfour, who is the Head of Health at the Minerals Council South Africa, as well as Joseph Montisetse President of the National Union of Mineworkers; and Zwelinzima Vavi, General Secretary, of the South African Federation of Trade Unions.
