  The South African diamond industry has to process its products before exporting them to be able to generate job opportunities, the National Union of Mineworkers' (NUM's) Archie Palane told a global diamond, gem and jewellery conference on Monday .
  
  For decades the diamond industry has been one of the major industries in SA and currently employs 28000 workers in mining, sorting and valuing, cutting and polishing, jewellery manufacturing and retail.
  
  Through the Precious Metals and Diamonds General Amendment Bill, the minerals and energy department requires the mining industry to beneficiate some of its output to create jobs and to ensure that economic benefits trickle down to the wider population.
  
  Palane, the NUM's deputy general secretary, told the four-day conference that diamond processing was an opportunity for the industry to create more job s, especially with the rand remaining at strong levels.
  
  "We belive that if the industry is committed (to beneficiation), we will save many jobs . The question of beneficiation is not an alternative but is part and parcel of the mining industry," he said.

  NUM national deputy general secretary Archie Palane said yesterday that a smaller producer, Northam Platinum, would also be affected by the action.
  
  He said the union was awaiting final dates for hearings from the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) before deciding on whether to proceed with a strike.
  
  "Our wage talks with Angloplat, Implats and Northam have all deadlocked," he said."If the CCMA mediation doesn't work, we could see the first major crosssector strike in platinum mining."
  
  The CCMA hearing with Northam was scheduled for September 17, and the union should get dates for its hearings with Angloplat and Implats this week, said Palane.
  ...
  Implats, which employs 28500 people, is offering NUM members a 6,5% wage increase , while the union was seeking an 8,5% increase, Palane said.
  
  In Implats' case, it has settled with unions Solidarity and the United Association of SA at 7% for the coming year, as part of a previously signed agreement.
  
  "If Implats has settled with the white unions at 7%, then we will not settle for anything less," Palane said.
  ...
  The union was also seeking a R3100 monthly entry-level wage for surface miners , said Palane.
