Talking to an employee at Char plant, she highlighted the that “Exxaro Supervisors undermine health and Safety hazards identified by employees at the sections. They only act when DMR intervenes”

Exxaro’s health and Safety standards are deteriorating since Johan Wepener took over as a Manager. Many incidents we not reported, they are hidden from DMR and Janine(Exxaro Investigator) is the main person for cover-up. What happened Moroka 12 Case?? No one knows the outcomes till today”
