Mineworkers across North West have decided to combine their strike efforts.
A workers' representative made the remark at an Anglo American Platinum strike rally at the Olympia Park Stadium in Rusterburg on Saturday.
More than a thousand striking workers gathered at the mass rally.
The spokesperson said mines, including Lonmin, Impala, Goldfields KDC East and Pokeng would join the strike.
He said some mines have returned to normal operation, but planned to join the strike in the new year as their demands were still not met.
On Friday, Amplats management re-opened discussions on miners returning to work.
