A 10TH body has been discovered at Lonmin's troubled Marikana mine in the North West, police said.

"We were notified of a body found in the bushes. The total figure now stands at 10.

"We don't know who the man was and how he died," said Captain Dennis Adriao.

Nine other people - two policemen, two security guards, three protesters and two other men - have been killed in violent protests at the mine since Friday.
