JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – Mining firm Sibanye-Stillwater on Friday gave South African gold mine workers a higher wage offer, a month and a half into a strike at its gold operations in the country.
Under Sibanye’s “final settlement offer”, entry-level employees would be given an annual increase of 850 rand a month each year between 2022 and 2024, including a 50 rand increase in living out allowance.
Sibanye previously offered entry-level workers an annual increase of 800 rand a month, including a 100 rand a month increase in living out allowance. The company’s offer to miners, artisans and officials remains a 5% pay increase each year.
