MARIKANA, South Africa Sept 18 (Reuters) – Striking miners
at Lonmin’s Marikana platinum in South Africa
accepted a company offer of a 22 percent overall pay increase to
end more than five weeks of crippling and bloody industrial
action.
Workers gathered at a soccer pitch near the Marikana mine
cheered when they were informed of the 22 percent offer, and
said they would return to work on Thursday.
