The Marikana Commission of inquiry said it is greatly concerned about the families and lawyers withdrawing from the commission.
Spokesperson for the commission Tshepo Mahlangu
said the withdrawal hampers the work of the commission in so far as getting to
the truth, as of what happened in Marikana last year.
Mahlangu said that the as the commission
they have a responsibility to conduct investigations with regard to what
happened in Marikana.
“And off course we are going to continue regardless
of the outcome of the decision tomorrow by the courts,” added Mahlangu.
He also said that as a commission they
operate within the context of the regulations as per the term of reference with
regard to the Marikana tragedy.
Furthermore he explains matters between
clients and their legal representative’s fall outside the scope of where the
commission is concerned and therefore these are matters that they note are out
of their jurisdiction.
