Police keep watch during the arrival of some of the 250 mine workers who were arrested last Thursday when they had a shoot out with police, at a Garankuwa court outside Pretoria August 20, 2012. A quarter of the workforce returned on Monday to South Africa's Marikana platinum mine, resuming operations at the sprawling site where police shot dead 34 striking miners in clashes that evoked memories of apartheid-era violence.Mine owner Lonmin has threatened about 3,000 striking workers with dismissal if they do not show up at Marikana, 100 kilometers (60 miles) northwest of Johannesburg, where miners armed with spears, machetes and handguns died on Thursday in a hail of police fire.

南非法院周日(9月2日)暫時取消對被捕的隆明鉑礦礦工的謀殺控訴。周五(8月31日),270名隆明公司礦工被南非法院以公共暴力、謀殺和意圖謀殺罪名起訴,引起南非輿論嘩然以及公憤。礦工的辯護律師團認為南非警方拘留礦工是非法的,並在給總統祖馬的公開信中呼籲將其釋放。南非代總檢察長在新聞發布會上表示,對礦工的起訴將在下一次出庭時暫時撤銷,在調查完全終結後才會公佈對所有涉案人員的最終判決,自案發當日便被拘捕的礦工會在周一(9月3日)獲釋。上月16日,南非鉑礦罷工者與警方發生槍戰,34名礦工遭到警方槍殺,釀成種族隔離政策結束以來最血腥的警察暴力事件。
