Anglo American said that it has halted operations at its South African coal mines due to a wage strike which started with the late shift on Sunday.

Mr Moeketsi Mofokeng a spokesman at the thermal coal unit said that "There is still no production at all the Anglo American owned mines.”

Talks between unions and employers resumed on Tuesday in a bid to end the strike.

Mr Mofokeng said the company would need 24 hours to get its operations back to normal once the strike is ended.
