MARIKANA - Fourteen years on, the call remains the same — justice for Marikana.
On this day in August 2012, police killed 34 mineworkers during a wage strike at Lonmin’s Marikana mine.
Their deaths left behind grieving families and communities.
Trade unions NUM, SAFTU and the Socio-Economic Rights Institute are still calling for justice and accountability.
Political parties led by the EFF, ATM and RISE Mzansi are urging meaningful change in the mining sector.
Some families have received compensation, while other legal claims remain before the courts.
Fourteen years later, the pain remains — and so does the wait for justice.
