Sibanye Stillwater Ltd.’s biggest mining unions voted to strike at the company’s gold operations until their wage demands are met, one of the groups said after a meeting.

Members of the National Union of Mineworkers, the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union, UASA and Solidarity, met in Carletonville, about 79 kilometers (49 miles) southwest of Johannesburg, on Sunday to discuss pay negotiations.
