Members of the National Union of Mineworkers were ballotted for strike action after the De Beers group refused their salary demands. A representative of the NUM announced that some 11000 mine-workers would join the strike.
The news comes amid a wave of strike action across Africa, including a public sector workers strike 1, 2, and a massive mine-workers' strike
The strike was announced the day before De Beers was due to publish its half-yearly results.
