Lonmin’s financial crisis is reaching a dangerous edge if the company does not reach an agreement with miners and resume production by the end of this week.

The company is at risk of having its credit cut by as early as the end of September, if the illegal strike continues. If it does not resume production by the end of this week, the company might have to shut down operations, which will leave 40 000 workers without employment.

Why the management doesn't put money on the table??? Atleast R8000, now they are busy talking about peace accord, how that will help the miners who want money??
