South African police used rubber bullets and stun grenades to disperse striking workers at an Anglo American Platinum Ltd. mine in violent protests that left one person dead.
A shop steward for the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union was “shot by police,” Joseph Mathunjwa, president of the labor group that initiated the strike, said by phone. He said the union will comment further in a statement.
