There could be an end in sight in the strike that has hit the country's gold mines.
The National Union of Mineworkers is considering a new offer from the employers this morning.
NUM spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka says its up to members what happens next.
"As soon our members have made up their minds on the offers we will communicate with the public to announce what the status of the membership is in relation to those offers. If they agree we will call off the strike," said Seshoka.
He also denied reports that the union dropped its demands of a 60% increase to 10% percent, saying they had never tabled a demand for 60%.
Meanwhile, there's renewed hope of a speedy end to the three-week automotive strike as workers mull over a new offer from employers.
The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa's top leadership held a meeting in Johannesburg late yesterday, and requested workers to return to their plants Thursday to get feed-back from the meeting.
Numsa's Basil Cele says workers will decide whether or not to accept the offer.
