Marikana communities approach ConCourt to reverse Lonmin Platinum Mine sale

Brain Khanyile, one of the lawyers representing the communities, says, “We approached the Constitutional Court. We are challenging the decision, and it actually undermines certain aspects and rights of the communities that fall under greater Marikana.”Lonmin is infamous for the country’s longest workers’ strike that ended in the death of 34 miners – shot and killed by police in August 2012.

In the preceding days, ten others were killed, including two security guards and two police officers. In 2017 – four years after a record five-month wage strike – Lonmin recorded a 40% loss. 13 000 jobs were shed and 5 of 11 shafts in Rustenburg closed.
