At least 30 people have been killed after police clashed with striking miners at South Africa's Marikana mine on Thursday, the police minister has said.

The Lonmin-owned platinum mine has been at the centre of a violent pay dispute, exacerbated by tensions between two rival trade unions.

Violence during the strike had already killed 10 people.
