The South African Communist Party expresses its message of condolences to and solidarity with the families of the deceased mineworkers at Palaborwa Copper Mine in Limpopo. The workers perished on Sunday, 15 July 2018 while working underground. The SACP believes that the tragic causalities caused by lack of adequate safety standards on the part of mine bosses who are concerned only about making and maximising profit.
The SACP encourages mineworkers to refuse any work they reasonably believe can compromise their health and safety or place their lives in danger. The Party further calls on mineworkers unions to unite and fight on against the general cruelty of economic exploitation by mine bosses and compel them to implement high safety standards and decent work.
Today, Tuesday 17 July the SACP is sending a delegation to visit the scene of the accident and meet with the unions and management to share our perspectives on the safety of workers.
