South African striking Marikana platinum miners against Lonmin mine owners

This series of videos sent to us from South Africa shows the heroic South African miners on the march. The following is an article from The Socialist newspaper: South Africa: 'Lonmin settlement a victory - struggle pays!' After six weeks of defiant strike action in the teeth of violent attacks by police acting on behalf of the mining bosses, when over 40 miners were killed, the Marikana platinum miners have won a significant 22% pay increase and a R2,000 payment for loss of earnings from mine owners, Lonmin. Members of the Democratic Socialist Movement (the Socialist Party's counterpart in South Africa) have played an important role in the miners' struggle, in particular, through the adoption of the demand for an industry-wide general strike. South African capitalists are fuming in the news media, complaining that the pay concession will lead to "contagion" throughout the rest of the mining industry.
