JOHANNESBURG Aug 20 (Reuters) – World no. 3 platinum
producer Lonmin said on Monday employees had
started returning to work after 44 people were killed last week
in a violent strike at one of its major South African mines.
“Attendance has started slowly but is now up to 27 percent.
But it is unclear if the striking workers are returning,” a
Lonmin spokesperson told Reuters. About 3,000 striking workers
face an ultimatum to show up on Monday or be sacked.
