The miners arrived at Anglo American Platinum's operations in Rustenburg, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) northwest of Johannesburg, and began attending safety seminars that morning, company spokeswoman Mpumi Sithole said.

"The company is pleased to welcome its employees back to work," Sithole said in a statement.
