Lonmin Platinum's miners celebrated a wage deal Wednesday that ended a deadly strike, but labor unrest at a different mine took a violent turn when police broke up what they called an illegal gathering near the town of Rustenburg.
Spokeswoman Mpmi Sithole said Wednesday that all five mines in Rustenburg have reopened but they cannot say how many have returned to work.
"We expect better changes again ... there will be no more provoking, no more noise, no more beatings," she said.
