Amplats to re-instate fired workers


The world's biggest platinum producer, Anglo American Platinum, has agreed to rehire 12,000 wildcat strikers who were earlier dismissed.

The National Union of Mineworkers says it has struck a deal to get Amplats to take back all the workers it sacked three weeks ago, while workers's pay demands will be addressed once the miners are back at work.

NUM regional coordinator Mxhasi Siteti says workers are to report for work on Tuesday.

The announcement came as a strike in the gold mining sector also neared an end with most workers reporting for duty on Friday, following a pay agreement between unions and mine operators.
