Does Lonmin have blood on its hands?
隆明公司手沾鮮血？
Lonmin's acting CEO Simon Scott on South Africa's mining tragedy and the future of the country's platinum industry.
就南非礦業(yè)慘案及南非鉑金業(yè)的未來發(fā)展，對隆明公司執(zhí)行CEO西蒙·斯格特進(jìn)行采訪
Do you feel that your company has blood on its hands from what has happened?
你認(rèn)為對此事件，貴公司手沾鮮血嗎？
I don't think so. I mean, I think we all as South Africans feel exactly the same way that you feel. We've done, you know, we've gone, we've made sure that any of our employees who have been directly affected in this as we are doing as much as we possibly can. We've put in place counseling for the families, we assisting in their arrangement, appropriately with regard to the burials that need to take place.
我不這么認(rèn)為。我的意思是，我們都是南非人，我們的感受和你的完全相同。我們做過的，你知道，我們曾經(jīng)做過的，我們已明確表示，在此次事件中受影響的任何雇員，我們都會盡其所能為他們做些事情。我們慰問了這些家庭，幫助他們安排后事，及時下葬。
So whose fault is this?
那么這到底是誰的錯？
There is a commission of inquiry that has been set up to look at whose fault it may be. At this time we are not pointing fingers. We are saying "let's get back to work, let's get operations running smoothly". And then if there is blame to be apportioned, let's do that and let it say.
已經(jīng)成立了調(diào)查委員會來尋找元兇。此時，我們不想指責(zé)任何人，我們只是說“讓我們重返工作，讓我們能夠平穩(wěn)運(yùn)營”。如果必須有人受到指摘，但就進(jìn)行調(diào)查，并讓調(diào)查來說話。
Could the mine company have done more to avoid this by sitting down and talking to these strikers?
礦業(yè)公司是否原本可多做一些事情如坐下來與罷工者進(jìn)行商談，從而避免慘案發(fā)生？
What we had was a legal work stoppage and we workers chose not to come to work and it quickly escalated into one of the public violence. We went at any stage didn't have that opportunity of engagement.
這是一次合法的罷工，我們的工人自行選擇不回來工作，不過它很快升級成為一場公共暴力事件。在此事的任何階段，我們都沒機(jī)會參與。
A lot of people have been shot at this likens to a time in the past in the mines in South Africa in the mid-80s, late 80s. Do you think that comparison is fair?
這次慘案中有許多礦工被殺害，這種情況類似于上世紀(jì)80年代中、后期的礦山。你認(rèn)為這種比較合適么？
The scenes of public violence shock us all. I mean it wasn't something that any of us relish. But I think within the mine situation has changed quite considerably.
公眾暴力事件的情景令我們所有人都感到震驚。我認(rèn)為，這不是任何人想要的結(jié)果。不過，我想礦山整個環(huán)境還是發(fā)生了巨變的。
Is it right now the difficult time for platinum industry in general? How does this affect your company in general going forward with the prices dropping and the continued industrial action?
目前是整個鉑金產(chǎn)業(yè)面臨困境的時刻嗎？在價格走低，及不斷罷工的情況下，總的來說，貴公司受到了怎樣的影響？
Year, I mean as you said it's a tough time for the industry. The industry has been one where we've been faced with a tightening process, prices have been coming down, we all have the cost increase, overtime increasing. So it's a tough place to be at the moment. The sooner we get all operations up and running, the more resilient we can be as an organization, and indeed the better for the South African platinum industry in general.
是的，我同意你所說的，目前是鉑金業(yè)的艱難時刻。現(xiàn)在我們所面臨的鉑金業(yè)處于滑坡過程中，價格持續(xù)走低，成本卻在增加，加班時間也在增加。因此，此時此刻，這是一個舉步維艱的行業(yè)。我們越快能讓經(jīng)營連續(xù)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，就越能讓公司保有生命力，實際上也越有利于南非整體鉑金業(yè)！
