South African platinum bosses to hold strike briefing

JOHANNESBURG, Feb 19 (Reuters) - The chief executives of the world's top three platinum producers will hold a joint briefing on Wednesday at 1300 GMT as a strike over wages at their operations in South Africa grinds on, the country's chamber of mines said.

AMSJ.J , Impala Platinum IMPJ.J and Lonmin .

The chamber did not provide further details. The strike by the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) began almost four weeks ago.
