SOME 7,000 SOUTH AFRICAN MINERS RETURN TO WORK
  Some 7,000 black workers returned
  to work after staging one-day strikes at two mines on Monday,
  the National Union of Mineworkers and the companies that own
  the mines said.
      About 6,000 miners resumed work at the Grootvlei gold mine
  east of Johannesburg after protesting the transfer of
  colleagues to other jobs at the same mine, owners General
  Mining Union Corp Ltd <GENM.J> said.
      The union said about 1,000 mineworkers at a new coal
  facility owned by Anglo American Corp of South Africa Ltd
  <ANGL.J> also returned to their jobs on Tuesday.
      The workers at Anglo's Vaal Colliery south of Johannesburg
  had struck to protest the alleged refusal of officials of the
  South African homeland of Transkei to allow miners to attend a
  funeral in the homeland, a union spokesman said.
