Two miners at Impala's Rustenburg mine said they were only paid until 17 April, which was the day they received SMSes from CEO Mark Munroe to return to work.
Munroe, who was released on R60,000 bail on Friday, is alleged to have contravened the lockdown regulations by calling workers including non-essential staff to return to work this week.
Munroe appeared in the Bafokeng magistrates court on Friday following allegations that the company contravened lockdown regulations.
He allegedly called workers back for operations, including non-essential operations.
Lonmin says it does not want to fire anybody, but miners should return to work.
