PRETORIA, Sept 14 (Reuters) – Labour unrest sweeping through
South Africa’s mining sector could be “extremely damaging” for
the economy, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan conceded on Friday.
Gordhan’s comments are a shift in tone from last week, when
he told a joint government and IMF briefing that the violence
was not likely to affect growth in “any significant way”.
