RUSTENBERG, SOUTH AFRICA - JULY 4: Anglo Platinum Miners wait in a queue to board a lift to take them underground on July 4, 2014 at Thembelani Shaft in Rustenburg South Africa. Union Amcu brought an end to the five month strike when they signed a new wage deal. The union accepted the wage settlement that would increase the basic salary of the lowest-paid worker by R1 000 over three years, excluding other benefits.
