Pretoria - South Africa's mining industry, unions and the government on Monday signed a broad plan to stem a wave of job losses triggered by falling commodity prices and soaring costs.
The draft document of the blueprint seen by Reuters last week included boosting platinum by promoting the metal as a central bank reserve asset and commitments to delay lay-offs, and sell distressed mining assets instead of closing them.
The final document was not immediately circulated at the signing ceremony.
