JOHANNESBURG Aug 30 (Reuters) – Platinum producer Lonmin
said on Thursday less than 7 percent of its
28,000-strong South African workforce had reported for duty on
Thursday as talks were slated to have warring unions cool it
and bring people back to work.
The world’s third largest producer of the precious metal has
had its mining operations shut for almost 3 weeks because of a
wave of violence stemming from a union turf war that has killed
44 people this month.
