The government has released a statement marking the seventh anniversary of the Marikana tragedy, saying that such an incident should never occur again and that authorities are working on improving the lives of mining communities.
Thousands of mineworkers gathered in at the infamous Koppie in Marikana – the shooting scene of 34 miners on August 16th in 2012 – to commemorate the event. The Socio-Economic Rights Institute , which represents the family of some of the miners who were killed at Lonmin, says police are still refusing to accept guilt over what happened.
” As we speak now we have not finalised that settlement in fact in fact it does seem like we’ve come to the point where we cannot find each other. And its directly because, while we continue seven years past the massacre the state and primarily the police and even Lonmin have refused to accept wrongdoing for what happened seven years ago. And I think that’s why we sit now and are so delayed on the finalisation of compensation,” says Zondo.
