Tribunal Superior do Cabo Setentrional estende liquidação provisória da Ekapa Mine

O Tribunal Superior do Cabo Setentrional prorrogou a liquidação provisória da Ekapa Mine, em Kimberley, até 30 de outubro, em vez de emitir uma ordem definitiva. O Sindicato Nacional dos Metalúrgicos da África do Sul (Numsa) opôs-se ao pedido e expressou satisfação com o resultado. A decisão segue-se a um deslizamento de lama fatal na mina em fevereiro.

O Tribunal Superior do Cabo Setentrional, em Kimberley, estendeu a liquidação provisória da Ekapa Mine em 17 de abril, adiando o assunto para 30 de outubro. Isso ocorreu depois que os administradores da recuperação judicial solicitaram uma ordem de liquidação definitiva, que o Numsa contestou devido aos seus danos potenciais aos trabalhadores. A organizadora local do Numsa, Lerato Mohatlane, saudou a decisão. "O Numsa estava lá para se opor à liquidação e também para solicitar uma extensão sobre esta questão de que o processo de liquidação não deve ser concedido, e foi isso que o tribunal fez", disse Mohatlane. Ela acrescentou que a extensão permite que o sindicato se prepare melhor e possibilita que os trabalhadores acessem 50% de seus fundos de pensão da Momentum. O caso decorre de um deslizamento de lama em fevereiro que matou cinco mineiros na Ekapa Minerals. Todos os corpos foram posteriormente recuperados, deixando mais de 1.200 trabalhadores em situação de aflição.
