# The National Union of Mineworkers has condemned the death threats directed at its Branch Chairperson at Impala Mine in Rustenburg, North West. It says these threats have occurred amidst the union’s ongoing struggle to secure organisational rights for its members.

NUM maintains that workers have a constitutional right to freely choose a trade union without fear, intimidation, victimisation, or violence.
