As quoted in the publication:
More than 30,000 workers are expected to participate in the strike, which was scheduled to begin at 18:00 local time (16:00 GMT).
“We took the decision to strike because we reached a deadlock,” NUM spokesman Livhuwani Mammburu told AFP news agency.
“It will continue indefinitely until the two parties can come together and solve their differences,” Mammburu added.
