The Platinum Industry strike might be over but Traumatic Changes await both Parties
Normally after a strike is over, the tensions rapidly abate and the situation swiftly returns to normal. In the case of the Platinum Industry strike, the underlying causes are much more deeply rooted and entrenched. Worse still, like a spectre hanging over it, are the ghosts of the Marikana Massacre.
In no small measure, both parties in the dispute including government will find the process ahead both arduous and possibly intractable.
