Protests at the mine in the northwest killed 44 people, including two police officers, of the 34 miners/men that were killed were fighting with the police. The strikes started in August at Lonmin-owned Marikana platinum mine in the nation's northwest.10 more people were killed at this time and 2 of them were police officers. The workers who work at the mine ended this awful strike after almost a month of strikes and they received a pay increase of 22%. Some of the miners were even charged with murder, i think they were charged only because the fights included police officers.
