DRIEFONTEIN, South Africa - In a speech punctuated by cheers and the blowing of whistles and vuvuzelas, firebrand politician Julius Malema called for a national strike in all South African mines, encouraging a step-up of a strike that has already halted production at several platinum and gold mines. Malema told thousands of striking miners that the nation's critically important mining industry should be stopped in its tracks to force the removal of the leadership of the country's National Union of Mineworkers, which is cosy with the power elite, including South African President Jacob Zuma, Malema's arch-enemy. "There must be a national strike. They have been stealing this gold from you, now it is your turn," Malema said. AP
