Johannesburg - Northam Platinum's management acknowledged receipt of a memorandum from striking mineworkers at its head office in Johannesburg on Tuesday.
“The company will review the memorandum and respond to the union as soon as is practicably possible,” it said in a statement.
The marchers, members of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), are demanding a wage increase.
According to reports, about 80 percent of Northam's workers are NUM members, who are demanding a 61 percent pay increase.
The platinum miner has reportedly offered workers eight to nine percent increases, and warned that should the strike continue, it may be forced to cut jobs. Workers at the company's Zondereinde mine, near Amandelbult in Limpopo, went on strike on November 3. - Sapa
