More disruption for crisis-hit mine

The South African mine that saw 34 of its workers shot by police has suffered further disruption after only one in five wildcat strikers reported for duty.

Platinum miner Lonmin had ordered 3,000 illegally-striking rock drill operators to return to work at its Marikana mine on Tuesday or risk losing their jobs, while it appealed to a further 25,000 staff and 10,000 contractors to report for duty.
