Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to investigate wage determination in South Africa's mining sector with a view to better understand the current unrests in the sector. This is important given that this wave of strikes is not the first to hit South African mines; in 2007 there was an industry-wide miners' strike during which the miners made it clear they were not happy with their remunerations and working conditions at the country's mines.-
