JOHANNESBURG Oct 18 (Reuters) – Eighty percent of workers
at Gold Fields’ KDC West mine in South Africa have
returned to work by a dismissal deadline, the company said on
Thursday, raising hopes that an illegal strike at the operation
could end soon.
“A large number of people have today arrived at the site and
clocked their punch cards. The real test now is to see whether
they return for the first shift tomorrow morning,” company
spokesman Willie Jacobsz said.
