outh African police have fired rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse protesters at a platinum mine where 45 people were killed over a deadly wage dispute that erupted at the beginning of August. Saturday's show of force followed a government threat to halt illegal protests and disarm strikers who have stopped work at one gold and six platinum mines northwest of Johannesburg. The strikes have destabilised South Africa's critical mining sector. It was the first police action since 34 miners were killed on August 16 when security forces opened fire at the Marikana mine. About 500 officers raided hostels at Lonmin PLC platinum mine before dawn and confiscated homemade machetes, spears, knives and clubs, police spokesman Brigadier Thulani Ngubane said. Al Jazeera's Haru Mutasa reports from Marikana, South Africa.

Miners in South Africa have rejected a 9 percent wage increase from the country’s platinum producers. <br /><br />Earlier, thousands of workers near Lonmin’s Marikana mine – the scene of the police killing of 34 strikers in 2012 – jeered when they were told about the tabled offer. <br /><br />The country’s AMCU union is seeking a doubling in miners wages to around 800 euros a month. <br /><br />The move to reject the pay offer prolongs a week of industrial action which is already estimated to have hit around 40 percent of the global supply of platinum. <br /><br />That in turn has helped push South Africa’s rand currency to a five year low.
