In the latest edition of the Sunday Show with Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), he speaks about the role of money in the race for the next president of the African National Congress (ANC) just as billionaire Patrice Motsepe emerges as another likely contender. De Beer looks at the continuing “onslaught” from former President Jacob Zuma, whose MKP has taken another ward off the ANC. He points out the big differences in the strategies of MKP and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) to the issue of Afrikaner self-determination. Following the latest EFF march on an Afrikaner community, he also warns: “I fear one morning, that when they go to the gates of such a place, they're to meet with arms. The police are going to be in the middle and people are going to get very cross…If one person in that group shoots, we will have a Marikana.” De Beer slams President Cyril Ramaphosa's move to appoint a Commission of Inquiry to establish why Apartheid-era crimes - testified to at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) - have not been prosecuted, saying: “We are still sitting with Zondo. So, we can go dig up old cows, but we can't lock up the present.” He also examines the suspicious circumstances surrounding the deaths of four members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) whose bodies ended up in the Hennops River. And he hails Mr Justice Nathan Erasmus who handed down a guilty verdict last week in the case of the missing Joshlin Smith. “Make this man the Judge President…What a jurist.”

Political parties in South Africa used the 12th anniversary of the Marikana massacre to reflect on the tragedy which left 34 striking miners dead in the North West. On 16 August 2012, 34 striking miners died when police opened fire at the Lonmin platinum mine, near Rustenburg, North West and to date no compensation has been granted for the those who were fataly wounded and their families of those who passed. Kim Heller, a political analyst and author of ‘No White Lies: Black Politics and White Power in South Africa', wrote an interesting article titled “The Marikana Massacre 12 years later remains a breach of South Africa's democracy”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Socio-Economic Rights Institute - SERI - says only 35 families of the 37 mineworkers who were killed in Marikana in August 2012 have been compensated for their financial loss by the state. it has been 12 years to the day.... since the murders of 34 mineworkers at the infamous Koppie . At least 10 people including mineworkers, police officers and security guards were killed in the days preceding the massacre. According to SERI, there have been no prosecutions for the murders that happened on that fateful day....the 16th of August 2012..SABC reporter,Thabiso Moss compiled the following report...
South African Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi believes the biggest injustice to victims of Marikana massacre 12 years after the miners' deaths has been a “failure” to initiate a criminal investigation against former president Jacob Zuma and former minister of police Nathi Mthethwa. Friday marked 12 years since 34 mineworkers were killed by police during a strike outside Lonmin Mine in Marikana, in North West. Speaking to TimesLIVE reporter Sinesipho Schrieber Vavi he was disappointed that politicians who led the state at the time faced no legal consequences for the massacre.

South Africa was born in war, has been cursed by crises and ruptures, and today stands on a precipice once again. Thula Simpson's History of South Africa: From 1902 to the Present (Oxford UP, 2022) explores the country's tumultuous journey from the Second Anglo-Boer War to 2021. Drawing on diaries, letters, oral testimony and diplomatic reports, Thula Simpson follows the South African people through the battles, elections, repression, resistance, strikes, insurrections, massacres, crashes and epidemics that have shaped the nation. Tracking South Africa's path from colony to Union and from apartheid to democracy, Simpson documents the influence of key figures including Jan Smuts, Nelson Mandela, Steve Biko, P.W. Botha, Thabo Mbeki and Cyril Ramaphosa. He offers detailed accounts of watershed events like the 1922 Rand Revolt, the Defiance Campaign, Sharpeville, the Soweto uprising and the Marikana massacre. He sheds light on the roles of Gandhi, Churchill, Castro and Thatcher, and explores the impact of the World Wars, the armed struggle and the Border War. Simpson's history charts the post-apartheid transition and the phases of ANC rule, from Rainbow Nation to transformation; state capture to 'New Dawn'. Along the way, it reveals the divisions and solidarities of sport; the nation's economic travails; and painful pandemics, from the Spanish flu to AIDS and Covid-19. Learn more about your ad choices.

Residents in Marikana say nothing much has changed since 34 mineworkers were killed by police in 2012. This is the official commemoration of the massacre getting into full swing in honour of those that died on this day, eleven years ago.

Victims of the Marikana Massacre are still waiting for justice 11 years on after the tragedy. This according to the Socio-Economic Rights Institute of South Africa, SERI which represents the families of 36 striking miners, who were killed by police in August 2012, at a mine in Marikana, North West. As the country marks 11 years since the massacre today, SERI says the state has failed to fathom the impact of the massacre, its cost on families and how they continue to suffer over the years. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to SERI's Executive Director, Nomzamo Zondo
The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union - AMCU - says there will soon be no space to commemorate the site where 34 mineworkers were massacred in Marikana in North West due to encroaching squatter camps. The union says while workers have seen some gains since their protracted strike, much more still needs to be done to better living conditions of workers and communities in mining areas. This year marks eleven years since the killings at Marikana. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Amcu president Joseph Mathunjwa

Seventeen Lonmin Marikana mine workers accused of murder have managed to put their trial on ice for now. This follows a ruling by the North West High Court sitting in the Mogwase Reginal Court to remove their murder trial from the roll -- pending a review application in the Pretoria High Court to have charges against them dropped. They are charged with seven counts of murder, four of malicious damage to property, four of robbery, three for unlawful possession of firearms, and three for unlawful possession of ammunition. The murders were committed at the time AMCU was leading a strike for higher wages at the Lonmin platinum mine. Sebenzile Nkambule spoke to AMCU leader Joseph Matunjwa...

A debate that's never been settled- and perhaps never will- is whether or not president Cyril Ramaphosa is liable for the deaths of 34 mineworkers in August 2012.He was a director of Lonmin, the mining company the workers worked for. In a series of emails with other leaders of the company, Ramaphosa described the mineworkers strike action as "dastardly criminal" and he promised to convey that sentiment to the security cluster within government so that "concomitant action" could be taken.A court found that there is no evidence in these Lonmin emails of Ramaphosa being liable for murderous action, either directly intentionally so or in terms of foreseeing the murder of the workers.But, as News24 specialist legal reporter Karyn Maughan points out ( https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/ramaphosa-has-case-to-answer-on-marikana-collusion-but-not-on-murder-of-miners-court-rules-20220705-2 ) this leaves open the question of whether, in terms of legal causation, the president may yet be liable for pressuring the police brass in a manner that resulted in the miners'deaths, setting the scene for them using excessive, lethal force. I invited Karyn to explain, explore and debate this particular complexity.We also asked a crucial non-legal question- even if Mr Ramaphosa is legally not liable in any way for the Marikana massacre, does he bear any other kind of responsibility, morally or politically? After all, legal questions do not exhaust range of questions about responsibility. Enjoy

Becky Milligan looks back at the extraordinary life of South Africa's new president. From humble beginnings, he became a lawyer, established the country's most powerful trade union organisation and was a key player in negotiating the end of apartheid. After losing out at an earlier attempt to become president, he turned to business and rapidly became one of South Africa's richest men – while also attracting controversy over allegations about his role during the Marikana massacre of striking miners. As he takes power, what really makes him tick?
