Südafrika: Ein Stück näher zur Eskalation

 Die Lage auf den Platinminen in Südafrika beruhigt sich nicht. Im Gegenteil. Die Streikwelle greift mehr und mehr auch auf die Goldminen in der Region von Rustenburg, nördlich von Johannesburg, über. Inzwischen sind drei Gesellschaften von den Ausständen stark betroffen: Lonmin, Anglo Platinum und Gold Fields. Beobachter in Südafrika schätzen, dass der Streik die Gesellschaften bisher rund 120 Millionen Euro gekostet hat. Vor allem für Lonmin ist dies ein Problem, da der Gewinn zuletzt schon geschrumpft ist..
