JOHANNESBURG, Sept 21 (Reuters) – World No. 4 bullion
producer Gold Fields said on Friday an illegal strike
that had halted operations for more than a week at its KDC West
operation in South Africa would end on Tuesday.
“We have just had a word from the National Union of
Mineworkers leadership that they had reached agreement with the
striking workers at KDC West to return to work at the end of the
long weekend with the start of the morning shift on Tuesday,”
spokesman Willie Jacobsz told Reuters.
He provided no further details. South Africa celebrates a
national holiday on Monday.
