Demonstrations at the Okorusu fluorspar mine in Namibia could affect Solvay’s fluorspar and phosphates production for the local and international markets.
Mineworkers have organised a peaceful demonstration to
protest the dismissal of a colleague at Solvay’s
Okorusu fluorspar mine in Namibia.
According to Mark Dawe, managing director at Okorusu,
mineworker Terance Sapatta was dismissed from the mine after
being caught drunk at work for the second time in one
month.
