Sibanye-Stillwater employees.
PRETORIA - Sibanye-Stillwater employees are camped outside the Union Buildings in Pretoria.
They say they'll stay there until the President intervenes in their four-month-long wage strike.
The NUM-affiliated workers have been sleeping on the lawns of the seat of Government since last week.
They're demanding a six-percent salary increase but Sibanye-Stillwater says their demands are not sustainable.
CEO Neal Froneman said the company can withstand a strike for years.
That led Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe to threaten to withdraw the company’s mining rights.
Employees say while they appreciate that intervention, more needs to be done.
