Aurora workers hear fate today

About 5 000 former Aurora workers are awaiting judgement today (June 25).

Judge Eberhart Bertelsman will give judgement in the North Gauteng High Court 8E on the Aurora Empowerment Systems, in Grootvlei, civil case which has been going on since 2011.

The case stems from a lack of salary payments when the liquidated Pamodzi Gold Mine was taken over by Aurora.

The workers claim they weren’t paid in full from March 2010 to May 2011, whereafter they were told to stay at home without any warning.

The high court hearing is about holding Aurora directors Khulubuse Zuma, Zondwa Mandela, Thulani Ngubane and business associates the Bhana family, personally liable for Aurora’s debt on the basis that they were negligent and dishonest directors.

They are accused of stripping the assets of the liquidated Pamodzi Gold mines in Springs and in Orkney, in the North West.

The Addie facebook members commented as follow:

Charlotte Lightbody: “Five five years without work or money and no mercy from Aurora directors.
My husband went through cancer during this time.
We trust on God to do the judgment.”

Margaret Coetzee: “Is the case still ongoing as I thought the workers have been paid already.”

More information will follow as soon as the court is adjourned.
