“Clearly at this stage we will not entertain any of that. We have a two year wage deal that expires on the 30th of June next year and as far as I am concerned that’s it,” Nick Holland told Reuters Insider on Tuesday.

Gold Fields’ KDC West operations in South Africa have been halted by an illegal strike since September 10.
