Employee indebtedness and garnishee abuse is a prominent item on the list of issues to be investigated by the Chamber of Mines (COM), as it seeks to uncover the socio-economic factors which led to the Marikana strike violence.

This has been confirmed by Xstrata executive director, Andile Sangqu, who spoke to CitiBusiness yesterday following the signing of an agreement between the COM and the National Research Foundation (NRF) which marked the launch of the investigation.
