Striking miners killed one man by setting him on fire, South African police say.

Police firing rubber bullets and tear gas sent men, women and children scattering as they herded them into their shacks in a crackdown on striking miners at a platinum mine.

South African police fired stun grenades to disperse striking miners, acting hours after president Jacob Zuma’s government vowed to halt illegal protests and disarm demonstrators.
