JOHANNESBURG, Sept 6 (Reuters) – Platinum miner Lonmin
said 1.7 percent of its South African workforce
reported for duty on Thursday, one of the lowest attendance
figures since a four-week strike paralysed the world’s No.3
producer of the precious metal.
News of a peace deal reached overnight did not make its way
to many workers, the company said. There have also been reports
of striking workers intimidating colleagues to prevent them from
returning to the Marikana mine northwest of Johannesburg.
