Business Report.jpg Hawks trap catches AMCU Dineo Faku, Business Report, Johannesburg, 10 March 2016 Seven members of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) at Impala Platinum (Implats), the world's second-biggest platinum producer, have been arrested for allegedly soliciting more than R2 million in bribes from an insurance company that administers its retirement funds. The seven, who are all trustees of the Impala Workers Provident Fund, were arrested by the Hawks this week and appeared in the Rustenburg Magistrates Court yesterday. They were released on R5000 bail each. Implats spokesperson Johan Theron confirmed that the seven were nabbed in Potchefstroom after they allegedly asked for "protection money" from the company whose name is known to Business Report. The arrests followed a trap set up by the Hawks. "The members had allegedly tried to secure payments from an existing or prospective service," Theron said.
