On June 14, the who’s who of South African mining could do no better than issue a draft on the industry’s framework agreement, in deference to the stalling Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU), which needed more time. But, by the end of the follow-up summit on July 3, mining’s key stakeholders chose to wait no longer and instead, as a committed collective, put pen to paper to ratify the industry’s promising new roadmap. “For us, it’s progress, and we’ll wait for AMCU to come back to us, which we’re confident they will,” Chamber of Mines VP Mike Teke said. However, at the time of going to press, an AMCU still in pensive pose was the only way Mining Weekly cartoonist Darlene could accurately depict the ambivalent union.
