Please join us in renewed prayer at this delicate stage of consultation and negotiation to end the dispute in the platinum mining industry:
RENEWED PRAYER FOCUS ON THE PLATINUM MINERS' STRIKE
We continue to pray in this week after Pentecost Sunday
For the spirit of truth to prevail in resolving the dispute in the platinum mining industry
And that God will guide and lead the labour union, AMCU, and the mining houses to reconciliation.
We pray for the parties to return to the talks and find lasting solutions to the social and wage problems they face at this time.
May each put themselves in the shoes of the other and move forward together for the sake of the common good and the safety of all, especially the employees.
Lord, we are confident that there is a solution, that a compromise can be found, and that these will be attained.
The journey has been long, Lord, and each party has flexed its muscles but now each has to help carve out the way forward as they return to the collective bargaining table.
Lord you are creator and owner of all that there is: mines, minerals and all your people, employer and employee,
Act now, Lord, through these so that your glory may be revealed,
For your name's sake,
Amen
