Striking miners march to the offices of Anglogold Ashanti in Carletonville yesterday. Thousands of South Africa miners returned to work, just hours before a deadline to end their strike or face dismissal, as embattled gold producers tried to break the back of a months-long labour revolt. Around 2,800 striking miners at a Gold Fields company facility near Johannesburg turned up for their shift, the firm said, while thousands more looked set to continue their strike.
