notes: 21 June. Members of the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) have staged demonstrations since the 19th through a sit in underground the Lanxess mine, Rustenburg. The demonstration was in response to the case of sexual harassment and victimization of a female worker by a mine captain in August 2018. The demonstrators are demanding disciplinary action, the suspension of the captain and the Human Resource (HR) manager, and the reinstatement of employees who were dismissed last year for their participation in a NUMSA led demonstration.
