A private security armoured vehicle is seen near the entrance of the Bakubung Platinum Mine in Ledig on December 8, 2023. About 250 miners demanding better wages entered the third day of an underground protest at the Bakunung Platinum Mine, according to the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM). "Workers want salary increases," NUM spokesman Livhuwani Mammburu told AFP, confirming the strike at the mine. Other complaints include unpaid maternity leave and the looming loss of hundreds of jobs at a time where the mine was advertising for senior roles, Mammburu said.
