US-SAFRICA-MINES:Lonmin strikers accept pay offer
MARIKANA, South Africa (Reuters) - Striking miners at Lonmin's Marikana platinum in South Africa accepted a company offer of a 22 percent overall pay increase to end more than five weeks of crippling and bloody industrial action.
Workers gathered at a soccer pitch near the Marikana mine cheered when they were informed of the 22 percent offer, and said they would return to work on Thursday.
