Ten years after the massacre of mine workers conspired by the state and their employer in Marikana, residents continue to fight for a better life
The tenth commemoration of the Marikana massacre bring feelings of sadness, disappointment and anger as residents of the townships around the mine reflect on their current living conditions. Their fellow residents paid with their lives fighting for a better life in the bloodiest labour dispute since the dawn of democracy. 34 people were killed and 78 seriously injured after the police opened fire on the workers who were encamped on the koppie near Nkaneng informal settlement in 2012.
To date, still no arrests and reparations.
