Lusanda Bill

The Democratic Alliance has called for the Marikana and Nkandla report to be tabled before Parliament.

President Jacob Zuma received the report by the Farlam Commission of Inquiry into the events that led to the shooting dead of 34 striking mineworkers in August 2012, at the end of last month.

DA Parliamentary Leader Mmusi Maimane in a statement said in both cases justice must be served.

Maimane Spokesperson Mabine Seabe said these two reports highlights the injustices that have happened and they need to be deliberated by Parliament.

Seabe said R246 million was used to build the Presidents house and many miners were killed during the Marikana mascara, so we need justice to be served.

Meanwhile Public Works Minister Thulas Nxesi says disciplinary hearings and criminal cases against officials and contractors implicated in the Nkandla investigations are in progress.
