Workers affiliated to the National Union of Metalworkers are now downing tools at diamond producer De Beers.

The union is calling for a 15-percent wage increase while De Beers has offered seven-point-five-percent and a one-off payment of two-thousand-500-Rands.

Num spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka says they are monitoring the strike.

Seshoka says they remain hopeful that their actions will bring operations at the company to a standstill.
