JOHANNESBURG Aug 2 (Reuters) – Aquarius Platinum
has reopened the Kwezi shaft at its Kroondal
mine in South Africa, where operations were suspended after a
deadly attack at the site that left three dead and at least 20
injured, a spokeswoman said on Thursday.
“The night shift and the day shift have proceeded as planned
and the situation is calm,” she told Reuters.
The company said on Wednesday about 200 people, some of them
armed, forced their way onto mine property. They are believed to
be former employees of a mining contractor, who were dismissed
following an illegal strike in June, it said.
