HARARE Jan 25 (Reuters) – Workers at the Zimbabwean
unit of platinum miner Impala Platinum returned to work
on Wednesday after going on strike last week, demanding the
company pay their personal electric bills, a company spokeswoman
said.
The strike of about half the workers at Zimplats’
Ngezi mine did not affect production, spokeswoman Busi Chindove
said.
“They are all back at work. Management didn’t change its
position on the matter,” Chindove said.
Zimplats is 87 percent owned by Impala, the world’s second
largest platinum producer.
