Mineworkers pray on Aug. 31, over the coffin containing the body of Mpuzeni Ngxande, one of the 34 striking miners that were killed by police on August 16, in front of the rocky outcrop where the men were shot, an informal settlement near the Lonmin mine in Marikana, North-West Province. Talks to end a three-week strike at South Africa's Lonmin platinum mine, where violence claimed 44 lives, have been postponed to Monday after two days of negotiations failed to broker a deal. Mine managers, unions, workers representatives and government mediators are seeking a "peace accord" after the killing of 34 striking workers two weeks ago by police -- the worst day of police violence in South Africa since the end of white-minority apartheid rule in 1994. |
