The Congress of South African Trade Unions has called off its planned strike action against the use of labour brokers in South Africa but the National Union of Mineworkers is to press ahead with its strike action, demanding safer working conditions in mines.

Business Day report that thousands of mine, construction and energy workers are expected to down tools as part of the strike action to remember "those who died in the line of duty", on Wednesday, 5 October 2011.
