The door is now open for survivors of the Marikana massacre to hold President Cyril Ramaphosa personally liable for compensation.

This follows Judge Frits van Oosten upholding 4 of Ramaphosa’s exceptions, rejecting one, in which he found that Ramaphosa had taken part in, planned and endorsed the cooperation between Lonmin mine in Marikana and the South African Police Service.

This operation culminated in the deaths, injuries, arrests and detention of striking mine workers back in August 2012. Lawyer for the Marikana widows, Asenati Tukela, welcomed the judgement saying that this is an important step in his clients’ quest for justice.“We think that this is a very important step in the quest for justice for the families, and to also find closure. We think much of what justice is is closure and understanding the circumstances that caused the traumatic event.” says Tukela.

He also adds that for the past 10 years they have always been pleading for acknowledgement and acknowledging who was responsible, who should be held liable. Mineworker’s lawyer, Andries Nkome says they have always argued that the massacre was as a result of a toxic collusion between state and capital. He further adds that he is happy now the orchestrator of the incident, being the President, will have to answer.

'mene, mene, tekel, upharsin' ~ President Zuma and Mandela.

It will take forever to hold president liable on something he had no control over it, firstly Farlam commission should be taken on judicial review secondly it should be proven beyond the reasonable doubt that Ramaphosa ordered police to kill the mine workers
