Lonmin is deeply concerned by the recent fatal shootings across the platinum belt. The company is aware of at least six deaths and three injuries in various shootings across the region in the past three months including three at Lonmin.
In the latest incident which took place on Tuesday 17 October, Mr Tholakele Dlunga, an employee of Lonmin, was shot by an unidentified assailant and later succumbed to his injuries. We send our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. He is survived by his wife and three children. In the same incident, a relative of Mr Dlunga was also injured
Lonmin has embarked on various measures to encourage calm, peace and tolerance.
“We are invested in the success, peace and stability of our company, our employees and our communities. This violence is deeply concerning. We have worked hard to establish a sound rapport with unions and employees. The recent violent attacks across the platinum belt only serve to undo these efforts and necessitate an urgent multi-disciplinary stakeholder engagement process to bring peace. To this extent, I have engaged with our regulator DMR Minister Mr Mosebenzi Zwane, our North West Premier Mr Supra Mahumapelo, the President of AMCU Mr Joseph Mathunjwa and our Police Minister Mr Fikile Mbalula to assist in restoring peace and stability.
We are also hosting prayer sessions with multi- faith denominations to reinforce peace, tolerance and unity. We call upon all stakeholders in the mining industry, in government and civil society to find common ground and to prioritise working together to restore peace and stability to the platinum belt. We also appeal for thorough investigations to bring the perpetrators to book,” said Ben Magara, Chief Executive Officer of Lonmin.
