Description & Background
Public
hearing of the Marikana Commission of Enquiry (aka Farlam Commission) is
presently investigating the Marikana tragedy at which 34 people were
killed and scores injured. A major concern is the recent killing of key
witnesses. Mawethu Joseph Steven, widely known as Steve Khululekile regional
leader of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) in Rustenburg,
North West, was shot dead in a tavern, while watching a soccer game on TV by
three unidentified gunmen. So far no arrests have been made. Mawethu Steven's
death is proof that there are deadly problems in Marikana, including a deep
distrust of police and hidden motives for killing.
