The National Union of Mineworkers says about nine-thousand workers at Lonmin’s Marikana operations in Rustenburg in North West are about to be dismissed.

NUM spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka says this follows disruptions at the platinum mine.

This was during last week's elections over an issue which, he claims, had nothing to do with the employer.

Seshoka says the union will help people reapply for their jobs where required, but will not to support those who have broken the law.
