JOHANNESBURG, Sept 17 (Reuters) – South African police said
on Monday they had arrested 42 people for an illegal strike at
the Rasimone mine, a joint venture between Royal Bafokeng
Platinum and Anglo American Platinum.
About 1,500 people embarked on the illegal strike and police
were called in to monitor the situation, the South African
Police Service said in a statement.
The mine is located near Rustenburg, about 120 km (70 miles)
northwest of Johannesburg, an area that has been hit by five
weeks of labour unrest.
