Lonmin says it is hopeful there will be a resolution to the almost four-month-old wage strike in the platinum sector.
Company spokesperson, Lerato Molebatsi says they want to assure their employees that there will be a resolution to the strike.
She said the only way to end the strike was by negotiating with the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union, adding that the company had temporarily stopped sending text messages to employees, asking them to indicate whether they would accept the 9.5% the company had tabled as the final offer.
Lonmin set Wednesday as the day for workers, who would accept the 9.5%, to return to work.
Members of Amcu at Lonmin, Impala Platinum, and Anglo AmericanPlatinum went on strike on strike on January 23 demanding a basic salary of R12,500 per month.
