NWest Premier remembers Marikana
Athenkosi Mvane
On 16 August, police shot dead 34
mineworkers after they clashed during a wildcat strike at Lonmin Mine in
Marikana.
Modise said though there were still problems in some areas, like
unemployment, slow progress had been made.
Premier’s spokesperson Lesiba Kgwele said
that as the year comes to a close, the Premiere remembers the bloodshed and
tears that were shed during the tragic incident.
“She would like to thank the church
leaders, traditional leaders for playing a significant role in facilitating
mediation and supporting the negotiation process that ended in wage settlement
and normalising relations in the mining sector” Lesiba added.
