JOHANNESBURG Aug 12 (Reuters) – Two security guards were
hacked to death at a South African mine operated by the world’s
number three platinum producer Lonmin on Sunday
in new violence between rival unions, company officials said.
They said the violence involved the National Union of
Mineworkers and the Association of Mineworkers and Construction
Union whose turf war shut the world’s largest platinum mine, run
by Impala Platinum, for six weeks earlier this year.
