NUM spokesman Lesiba Seshoka said the house of the chairman, who may not be named until a next of kin has been notified, was petrol-bombed on Friday evening.

"He escaped with serious injuries and has been admitted in the intensive care unit of a local hospital," said Seshoka.

According to the NUM this comes after a string of threats and intimidation of its members around the platinum mine.

Police officials could not immediately confirm the incident.
