R2K commemorates: Remember Marikana

The Right to Know civil society today says, the nation will unite in remembering the dreadful Marikana massacre that occurred in 2012.

The organisation says, President Jacob Zuma’s belated release of the Farlam Commission of Inquiry report last month, has not translated into justice for those killed and their families.

The organisation says, while the commission’s report stopped short of determining political responsibility for the killings, it did find it likely that a number of SAPS members on the ground are guilty of murder and attempted murder.

R2K WC Organiser Vainola Makan said every year since three years ago since that massacre, South Africans have been commemorating this day saying that this will never happen again.


There will be a march to the police station and to the Marikana township and later, there will be cultural events, hip-hop and poetry, she concluded
