Amplats fires 12,000 South African platinum miners

Breaking news

Amplats said three weeks of illegal strikes by 28,000 workers had cost it 39,000 ounces in lost output - or 700m rand ($82.3m; £51m) in lost revenue.

The strike has prompted clashes between striking miners and police in which one worker died earlier.

Some 34 South African platinum miners were shot dead by police in August.
