On 25 June 2015, President Jacob Zuma released the report of the
Commission of Inquiry which had been appointed to investigate matters
of public, national and international concern arising out of the
tragic incidents at the Lonmin Mine in Marikana, North West Province,
chaired by Honourable Judge Ian Gordon Farlam.

As part of the process of implementing the recommendations of the
Commission, President Zuma wrote to the National Police Commissioner,
General Phiyega, drawing her attention to the findings and
recommendations of the Commission regarding her conduct and that of
certain senior SAPS officials.

The President invited General Phiyega to send him her comments and
views on the report by no later than 31 July 2015, to enable the
President to determine whether any intervention was warranted, and the
nature of such intervention.

As at 22h00 on 31 July 2015, General Phiyega had not yet submitted her
response to the President.
