Unions should work together to fight battles in memory of Marikana victims: Vavi - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

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

This as the country commemorates seven years since the Marikana tragedy, in which 34 mine workers were shot dead by police during a protracted wage strike at the then Lonmin operations. “The period between 2012 and now – trade unions have fragmented, weakened even further, have been divided. Some of those divisions have nothing to do with advancing the interest of ordinary workers instead of launching new battles inspired by the memories of those workers who perished in Marikana. Trade unions should have been much stronger post-Marikana. We are in 2019 where there about 212 registered trade unions in South Africa, that is very sad indeed.

A number of women who have been left destitute by the deaths of their husbands are also expected to attend.
