As quoted in the market news:

About 300 workers at Sishen downed tools on Oct. 3 to demand higher pay as wildcat stoppages spread from the platinum industry to gold, chrome and iron-ore. Police arrested more than 40 striking Kumba miners yesterday, after the company, which is losing 120,000 metric tons of production a day, brought criminal charges against the workers and recovered 3.3 billion rand ($376 million) of equipment.
