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

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

Refilwe Moloto speaks to attorney Andries Nkome who is representing hundreds of families of the victims of the Marikana massacre in a civil suit, after a Johannesburg High Court found that a case can be made that he “participated in, masterminded and championed the toxic collusion” between mining company Lonmin and SAPS that led to the deaths of 44 miners.

Very privileged that I got the chance to speak with Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Greg Marinovich. Greg is currently an educator at Boston University and the Harvard Extension school who is also an award winning author, documentarian and photo editor. Greg won the Pulitzer prize in 1991 for photos he took during an extremely violent period in South Africa as they were going from Aparthied to Democracy. We discussed his career in photojournalism notably his time in the early to mid 90s in South Africa, the mindset of photographing those conflicts ranging from seeing people brutally murdered to risking his life to document these events. We also discussed some of his other work including documentaries, his investigation of the Marikana Massacre and his current career of an educator which includes photojournalistic ethics. He also provided me with great information for learning and becoming a better photographer. This interview had me incredibly nervous as the subject matter is more serious than I usually have the chance to explore. As you may know most people I have interviewed are athletes, musicians and entertainers primarily, and even my conversation with photographer Matt Barnes wasn't dealing with serious subject matter.

Lawyers representing the families of the Marikana Massacre have asked Judge Colin Lamont to recuse himself from the class suit because he is conflicted. Judge Lamont who is presiding over the lawsuit, was found to actually own shares worth R225-thousand in Sibanye Stillwater, the new owners after Lonmin. Advocate Dali Mpofu, says he has learnt this morning that the judge sold his shares. At least 34 mineworkers were killed during the Marikana Massacre in August 2012 and several others were seriously injured. They were demanding a salary of R12,500 and improved living conditions.

The two organisations that were at the center of the Marikana tragedy say enough measures have been put in place to ensure that the tragedy never happens again. Lonmin CEO Ben Magara and Amcu President Joseph Mathunjwa were speaking at an event to reflect on the Marikana Massacre which happened at the company 5 years ago. The event was at the weekend by the union, together with a Johannesburg business publication, as AMCU prepares to mark the 5th annivesary of the massacre this week. Tshepo Mongoai reports…

As we mark the third anniversary of the Marikana killings at Lonmin mine in Rustenburg in the North West, a religious leader who tried to broker a deal between striking miners and Lonmin bosses in 2012 can vividly recall the nightmare that unfolded on the week leading up to that fateful day. Bishop Jo Seoka's attempts to resolve the Marikana protests failed. He heard the fatal shootings while on a telephone call to a miner. More than a year later he testified at the Marikana Commission of Inquiry. As we commemorate the 3rd anniversary of the Marikana Massacre, the SABC's Sithakazelo Dlamini, caught up with Bishop Seoka at a church service in Pretoria and filed this report…

AMCU President Joseph Mathunjwa tells Tim Modise that the Farlam Commission Report failed to uncover the truth about the Marikana Massacre. He describes the events leading up to the tragedy and the ‘cover-up’ that ensued. He says working conditions of mineworkers reflect the apartheid structure of the mining sector. He blames the poor wages of workers, tax evasion and price fixing on the part of the mining companies as the leading causes of instability in the sector.
