North West - The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) held a memorial service at Implats mine in Rustenburg on Thursday morning for the 34 people killed in protests last week, an official said.

“It's not a separate memorial service. We are still going to the Lonmin memorial service. It was just because of the number of people who wanted to attend and it's a distance between Implats and Lonmin,” said Amcu secretary Jeff Mphahlele.

“Fortunately, management agreed to give us a day off for those workers to attend.”

The memorial service at Implats started at 8am, while the service at Lonmin Platinum mine in Marikana in the North West was scheduled for 11am. - Sapa
