What a tremendous incident to Marikana peoples. How can our police force do such thing as they are supposed to protect us and not to kill us?

I’ve been following this issue for the past few days and nothing happened in arresting those who killed innocent people. Aren’t our government supposed to treat everybody equally and never let personal vendettas to interfere.
It so sad and painful incident as many people have lost their lives fighting for their own freedom and expressing how they felt they have been robbed (earning R4000 per month compared to the wok they have to do on daily basis).According to Media 24, 34 of the protesters were killed, 78 people were injured, and 259 were arrested in Thursday’s violence.
Those innocent people that were killed had the opportunity to strike, using their labour rights and they never thought things could turn so badly. Our operational system need to take part and pressurize those who are investigating to uplift their investigational efforts as this could affect and create chaos amongst us (South Africans) if this could take time to gather evidence and people could get fuss if they don’t get enough evidence about what caused the incident.
what happend is really sad.. and our government needs to find ways to stop such things from ever happening again
ReplyDeleteTrue to that.....Let's hope so.
DeleteThis was a very sad story that will remain in the history books of SA. But who is to blame either way the cops and the protestors had weapons this was bound to turn out in such a bad way. It is really a tragic and i can't imagine what the families i going throuh
ReplyDeleteIndeed it wiil remain in the S.A history. This is a tragedic incident and we will always remind of what happened.
DeleteI say it has already created chaos to whole image of South Africa.
ReplyDeleteThey wont any policemen arrested, the investigation will go on forever. Police protect each other and they dont wanna backnowledge that they have failed the Marikana citizens.
ReplyDeleteTrue to that. But they also need to suffer for their concequences like the Marikana citizens. Justice must be served well and be treated equally.
