ICYMI SA lacks ’progressive leadership’ to stop exportation of chrome ore, says NUM
“Right now, I am from a hardware. I was having a problem with my geyser and they wrote down some of the things I needed to go and buy. Those things are made of chrome. I have the things here in my car. These things are not manufactured in South Africa,” said Montisetse.
Montisetse said the NUM wonders why that government cannot act fast to save the millions of jobs that are at stake. “We do not have progressive politicians in this country. We do not have people like Thomas Sankara and Samora Machel. We do not have those people who can impose tax on big business. This tax is only being imposed on workers.”
SaveSA Smelters convener Lindelani Nyathikazi said the proposed introduction of an export tax on chrome ore would help resuscitate the struggling industry that sources say employs about 68, 000 people.
