Lawyers representing those who were wounded during the wildcat strike at the Lonmin Mine in Marikana in 2012, said they were disappointed that the president had not admitted to wrongdoing on his part.
Historians have opened up about how the culmination of the strike in a massacre was chillingly reminiscent of the mass killings of protesting black people by the apartheid police in many areas, including Sharpeville in 1960.
Government, trade unions and labour analysts agree that the country’s labour relations have stabilised, to a great extent, since the deadly Marikana strike 10 years ago.
A 40-member cast and 13-piece band will get on stage on Tuesday night at the South African State Theatre in Pretoria to relive the story of the brutal killing of 34 miners in North West.
