The request by Implala Platinum (Implats) for some employees to return to work on Tuesday was disrupted by roadblocks preventing workers reaching the mine.
The company issued a notice to employees on Sunday to return to work during the lockdown, saying it had been granted an exemption by the department of mineral resources & energy.
"We have only recalled some employees over and above essential services people already at work," said Theron."Regrettably, many of our employees, including essential services people, have not been able to report to work today [Tuesday] as they were stopped by the police who blocked off the mine with extensive roadblocks."
"As such employees are required to travel from their homes to Impala Rustenburg to report for duty from Tuesday, April 14 2020.
