Judge Leoni Windell found that “all the parties made an effort to ensure that the settlement agreement is reasonable, adequate and fair.”
Parties made submissions in May asking the court to approve the settlement agreement and to issue instructions on the clauses it is not happy with. The agreement, on behalf of thousands of mineworkers and their dependents, affects people who contracted silicosis or pulmonary tuberculosis during or after being employed as gold miners from March 1965.
The mining companies admit that in the past they failed to take necessary precautions to protect their employees from the Sicilia dust that rises from the gold mines.
Viva! Feel like this is a personal victory, followed this case from day 1 and my thesis was based on it. Miners lives matteramandla. A job well done to the representatives!
✊🏿🙏🏽
These mining companies are all insured against such. Time to pay up insurance companies!
