Justice Minister Jeff Radebe wants the National Prosecuting Authority to explain why the 270 arrested Marikana miners are facing murder charges.
The charges were confirmed in the Ga-Rankuwa Magistrate’s Court in North West yesterday, following the killing of 34 miners in a confrontation with the police two weeks ago.
Radebe says in a statement the decision has caused a sense of shock, panic and confusion among the public, prompting him to seek clarity.
The arrested group were initially charged with public violence.
