The labour court interdicted the strike declaring it unlawful and unprotected.

SAFTU's Trevor Shaku said that the workers want to continue with their strike.
"There wil be a series of consultations throughout the weekend and NUMSA and the workers will advise one another and we will hear from them as a federation, what decision have they taken."
