Residents of Marikana today picketed
outside Parliament to show government that the shacks they destroyed were not
unfinished or empty structures. The
residents say government destroyed homes and not only structures.
The Marikana group is demanding full
compensation for all the material, furniture, documents and clothes which were
destroyed by the Anti Land Invasion Unit and the Law Enforcement.
One of residents Sibulelo Mthethwa said the
situation is bad as far as the pople are concerned.
“The people that lead this country do not
think about us, they only think about themselves; they demolished our shacks,
they shoot us, they told us that if we continue to live in that forest there
will be trouble” Mthethwa added.
Mthethwa also said that they stay in Marikana
because they do not have money to support themselves as most of them do not
work.
