The union’s president earlier warned that Amcu did not rule out a mass strike in the platinum-rich North West province if it was deregistered.
According to Institute for Security Studies head of Justice and Violence Prevention Programme Gareth Newham, had the impasse dragged to deregistration stage, it would have contributed “to a situation whereby tens of thousands of workers feeling alienated, whereby many resort to violence to express their grievances”.
Mathunjwa said the union “explained how it was in compliance with its constitution with regards to the arrangements for its upcoming three-day national congress, in September 2019”. “The union related how it had followed the timeframes prescribed by its constitution and pointed out that it had acted within its rights to postpone the event from the initial date in May of 2019. There was general consensus between the parties that there should have been earlier engagements before the issuing of the notice.”

BUSINESS MAVERICK OP-ED: Deregistration threat to Amcu calls for active union solidarityThe Department of Labour’s threat to deregister the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union is a cause for concern.
