South African police raid striking miners

Sep 15, 2012 by
 
South 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.

Original source

Silver was the best performing commodity in the past decade with a price rise of 572 percent between 2002 and 2012, says a report from the Lloyds TSB Private Banking Commodities Monitor. The banking group said the general perception of silver as a safe investment along with a high demand for it in the industrial sector has led to the high prices of the metal.

Gold prices saw the second highest increase, rising 428 percent during the period while tin, copper and lead jumped 414, 406 and 344 percent respectively.
