The Marikana Massacre

The Marikana Mine massacre. Workers became fed up with promises of a better wage. They went as far as killing two security guards after management had spoken with them that talks were on the table. Due to the miners rage, the management called the help of the police. Media reports say some miners had guns and were ready for war. Journalists even said they heared a gunshot from the mob. Instead of analysing the situation with care, the police fired back saying it was the only way since their lives were in jeopardy killing our brothers, fathers and uncles. Cyril Ramaphosa is now believed to have put 2 million aside for the burial of our own. The big question: If he had that amount of money packed aside, why couldn't he add it onto the workers wages - the very same workers under his employ?
