Tomorrow, Tuesday 15 August 2017, DA Leader, Mmusi Maimane, will join the residents of Marikana in commemorating the 5th Anniversary of the tragic massacre that claimed the lives of 34 miners on 16 August 2012.

Sadly, 5 years later, those affected by this government-inflicted tragedy – including victims’ families and loved ones – have yet to see justice served. Maimane will reflect on measures to hold those accountable for the greatest tragedy in 23 years of democracy, and steps to ensure that the families of the victims of the massacre are compensated.

The Leader will lay a wreath at the site of the massacre in remembrance of those who died, and will be joined by members of the community.
