IOL News that Cosatu has labelled the Supreme Court of Appeal’s decision to deny an appeal application by directors of Aurora Empowerment System as a “huge victory” for the company’s workers.
The directors, Khulubuse Zuma, Zodwa Mandela, Thulani Ngubani, Solly Bhana and Fazel Bhana were found liable by the North Gauteng High Court in their personal capacities for the looting of Pamodzi mining assets worth R1.7 billion. The labour federation said in statement that 5,300 mine workers lost their livelihoods as a result of the looting and economic vandalism by the Aurora directors. It demanded that they make payments soon and called for them to be criminally charged.
