The mines are heading for liquidation again

Sunday Times revealed at the weekend that President Jacob Zuma’s lawyer is yet another prominent figure in Sassa’s grants crisis.

The finalisation of liquidation proceedings should at least give them some temporary relief.

Khulubuse Zuma sold off his rich trappings and claims he is nearly broke – but liquidators believe there’s much more.

Four people were injured at an apparently violent protest at a gold mine on Monday, four days after Julius Malema spoke in the area.

Malema visited Aurora mine on Thursday to lambaste Zuma and Ramaphosa, and encourage miners not to go to work on Monday.

In a blistering anti-Zuma speech, Julius Malema has urged Aurora workers to fight for their rights, and unite to "make the mines ungovernable".

Hundreds of workers at Aurora’s Grootvlei mine have started receiving their salaries after nine months of no pay, a media report said on Thursday.

Police have confirmed they arrested 358 illegal miners at the Aurora mine on Tuesday.
