JOHANNESBURG Aug 31 (Reuters) – South African bullion miner
Gold Fields said about 12,000 of its workers have been
on a wildcat strike since Wednesday evening, the latest labour
unrest to hit the mining industry in Africa’s top economy.
Gold Fields said in a statement on Friday that so far two
day and two night shifts had been lost by the strike at the east
section of its KDC mine in South Africa.
Shares of Gold Fields were down 3.2 percent at 100.66 rand.
