Notes to editors:
Anglo American Platinum acquired Mototolo Mine near Burgersfort from Glencore in November 2018. The dispute around medical aid benefits arose following the transfer of employees from Glencore’s medical aid to Anglo American Platinum’s Platinum Health scheme. Employees were transferred on terms and conditions that are on the whole not less favourable to the terms on which they were employed by Glencore, in compliance with section 197 of the Labour Relations Act.
