NUM *NUM Media Release, 12 August 2010* *NUM calls for investigation on Aurora*The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) notes with shock reports that twenty miners were executed at Aurora 's Grootvlei operation in the East Rand this week and that their bodies remain on the scene.
The NUM calls for an urgent investigation into these allegations and whether or not these were indeed illegal miners.
For over ten months, workers at Aurora were paid piece-meal by the company led by Khulubuse Zuma and Zondwa Mandela. The workers were left to fend for themselves in filthy hostels with no electricity and water and depended on upstream water contaminated with mine acid.
The National Union of Mineworkers further calls for the reluctant state to take drastic measures against the owners of Aurora Empowerment Systems who in spite of their failure to properly manage Aurora are continuing to clinch business deals left, right and centre. Their mines are becoming hazardous day and night whilst they continue to move the goal posts in terms of paying their workforce.
