BATHOPELE MINE, South Africa, Sept 12 (Reuters) – Around
1,500 stick-waving protesters demonstrated outside Anglo
American Platinum’s Bathopele mineshaft on Wednesday,
calling for its immediate shutdown, a Reuters photographer at
the scene said.
The protesters, who said they supported wildcat strikers at
the neighbouring Marikana mine, said they would demonstrate at
other shafts owned by the world number one platinum producer to
press for a complete halt of operations.
