MARIKANA - Very little has been done to improve public order policing, and recommendations made about the policing system have been disregarded since the Marikana tragedy.

That's according to policing expert, David Bruce.

Bruce says there are lessons to be learned from the massacre, but more could've been done.

It’s been 11 years since 44 people died during a strike for better wages at Lonmin Platinum Mine in the North West.

Thirty-four  miners were killed when police opened fire on a crowd of striking mine workers.

At least 10 people were killed in the days leading up to the tragedy.
Those representing families of the victims say little has been done to bring closure.
