The effects of the 2016 hijackings of social housing in Marikana, North West, continue to haunt hundreds of mineworkers who are stuck in leaking single room shacks.
The family of the man accused of being the infamous Marikana sangoma who, according to reports, smeared muti on protesting mineworkers to make them invincible and “invisible”, is desperate to clear his name.
On Friday August 12, the 10th anniversary of the day her brother was killed, Hester Mabebe received a call from a man who said he was part of a group of striking Marikana workers who hacked him to death.
When Mandla Yawa’s brother was killed in the 2012 Marikana tragedy, he experienced a lot of different emotions. His grief turned to anger and then unimaginable pain. But over the last 10 years, Mandla has managed to acquire four university degrees, including a PhD in animal science all to honour his late brother Cebisile Yawa.
