Amcu, which rose to popularity during the Lonmin strike that culminated in the Marikana massacre, has 250,000 members.

However, it had failed to hold a congress to elect new leaders and did not disclose its finances.

If the union is successfully removed, mining companies could refuse to pay union fees.
