RUSTENBURG South Africa (Reuters) - South African platinum miner Vincent Nyeleka has just moved up in the world, leaving behind a cramped hovel that he rented for a new, three-bedroom house he can call his own.

"This is better. Now my wife and children can come live with me," said Nyeleka, a 32-year-old winch operator, as he walked through his new neighbourhood, its streets lined with brick houses and green lawns.
