More than a decade after the Marikana Massacre, the families of the 34 mineworkers killed by South African police on August 16, 2012, are still fighting for justice. The massacre, which occurred during a wildcat strike at the Lonmin platinum mine near Rustenburg, resulted in a total of 40 deaths and 78 injuries. The miners were demanding a wage increase from R4,000 to R12,500 per month. The Farlam Commission of Inquiry absolved key political figures, including current President Cyril Ramaphosa, but recommended prosecution of those involved. However, nine police officers were charged and all acquitted.
