World AIDS Day: December 1
Caption Description
The HIV/AIDS epidemic is hitting the mines particularly hard. According to government estimates, by late 1999 nearly 45% of miners - many of whom are migrant labourers from neighbouring countries - were infected with HIV. This Lonmin mining complex reports an average infection rate of 18% among its miners.
Miners at the Lonmin platinum mine near Rustenburg, knock off from their morning shift work on the mine.
