JOHANNESBURG Oct 4 (Reuters) – Illegal strikes have spread
to three more South African mines run by world no. 1 platinum
producer Anglo American Platinum, a trade union said on
Thursday, the latest round of wildcat action to hit the
country’s mining sector.
“They went on strike at these mines last night and at the
smelter our members have been threatened and told if they come
to work, their cars will be torched,” said Franz Stehring, a
divisional manager with the trade union UASA.
