Miners are being intimidated into staying away from work at the South African mine where 34 people were recently shot dead by police, the owners say. Lonmin says just 13% of workers have reported for duty on Monday and says miners have been threatened. It had hoped that the strike at the Marikana platinum mine would end and production would resume. Leaders of the ruling ANC are expected to discuss the deaths. The ANC has been criticised for the way the matter was handled, and President Jacob Zuma is expected to face tough questions at the meeting. The AFP news agency report there is a heavy police presence outside the mine. "Employees are waiting for the environment to be safe. Groups of people are walking around intimidating people who come onto the property," Lonmin spokeswoman Sue Vey told the BBC. "I decided to return to work because the strike has not been successful, but other people back in the hostel want to continue with the strike. They say they want money first," miner Johannes Ndebele told AFP. The 13% turnout is a sharp drop from the 30% who turned up for work last week. Operations at Lonmin's mines have virtually ground to a halt since the strike over pay and conditions began earlier this month. Lonmin is the world's third largest platinum producer and the closure has led the price of platinum to jump. 'Marikana massacre' President Zuma is expected to face an uneasy time when he meets the ANC's National Executive Committee, the BBC's Karen Allen in Johannesburg reports. Many members are said to be livid at the way the matter is being handled, our correspondent says. The "Marikana Massacre" - as it has dubbed by the media - has prompted serious questions about the ANC's ability under Mr Zuma to improve the lives of poor black South Africans. Mr Zuma faces a leadership contest this year, and the fact that so many of the killed miners were from the politically significant Eastern Cape Province could play into the hands of his rivals in an increasingly fragmented party, our correspondent adds. In a blow to the president, the party's largest section in Eastern Cape has just voted for an anti-Zuma candidate as its leader. Mr Zuma earlier expressed sympathy with some of the grievances expressed by the Marikana miners. He argued the mining sector could afford to increase wages and threatened companies that fail to raise workers' housing standards with the cancellation of their mining licences. During a recent visit to the mine, Mr Zuma told workers he "felt their pain" and promised a speedy and thorough investigation of the shootings. The president has also set up a commission to investigate the violence. Police say they opened fire after being threatened by large groups of miners armed with machetes. They also note that two policemen had been hacked to death by protesters earlier on in the strike.
