Platinum producer Lonmin has given striking workers a final ultimatum to end a wildcat stayaway by Monday or face being fired.

"The final ultimatum has been extended to Monday 20th following Thursday's events," spokeswoman Gillian Findlay said Sunday after the country's worst police violence since apartheid at the company's Marikana mine, where police gunned down 34 protesters.

"Employees could therefore be dismissed if they fail to heed the final ultimatum."
