Lonmin mine disruption continues

The disruption at Lonmin's main South African mine has continued after three-quarters of staff failed to turn up to work in the wake of last week's violence which claimed the lives of 34 people.

The group had ordered 3,000 illegally striking rock drill operators to return to work or risk losing their jobs, and appealed to a further 25,000 staff and 10,000 contractors to report for duty after police said it was safe.
