JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's AMCU union said seven of its members were attacked at Sibanye's Beatrix gold mine on Thursday, raising fears that an until now peaceful strike in the sector may turn violent.

The strike called by the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), a rival to AMCU, is now in its second full day. While tens of thousands of NUM members have refused to go underground, the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) has told its members to report for duty.
