MARIKANA - The widows of mineworkers, who were killed by the police in Marikana in August 2012, have said it is unjust that no one has been prosecuted.
The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union held a special event to commemorate today's anniversary.Speaking on behalf of the widows of the murdered Lonmin mineworkers, Nosihle Ngoyi slammed the State for failing to hold accountable those responsible for the massacre. “We want all those implicated in the murders to be prosecuted. We want to see them going to jail,” she said.
He has explained that while it may take some time, in the end the people who “spilled” blood in Marikana will be prosecuted. According to Magidiwane, he still feels pain when he speaks out loud, because of the bullets that remain in his body. “In Ramaphosa’s case, we will not stop pushing for his prosecution because government said they were busy with reparations. We won’t stop, our lives are worth more than their money,” he added.
What justice do they want? All South Africans want justice for all the murders that happen on a daily basis which totals more than 34 per day. Lets not forget justice for the rape of women and children in the process.
