Thirty four mine workers were shot dead by police during a protracted wage strike on this day at the then Lonmin operations, now owned by Sibanye-Stillwater seven years agoon August 16, 2012, say the day should be declared a holiday to remember their fellow brothers who fought for better working conditions in the Platinum mining sector.

Makhaya says, “As workers we would like to see this day being turned into a workers day holiday at least. And one more important thing, we wish to see happening is that where our brothers died, there should be a monument where all their names will be written.” UDM president Bantu Holomisa says the NPA prosecution of those involved in the tragedy needs to be concluded soon.
