The Bench Marks Foundation says little has been done to bring justice to the families of the slain Marikana miners.Monitoring NGO Bench Marks Foundation says little progress has been made in bringing those implicated in the killing of 34 miners in Marikana nine years ago to book.Nine police officers are still facing charges related to the shooting.
The foundation appealed to Sibanye-Stillwater to expand the memorial park it is establishing at Marikana. It wants counselling services for widows and orphans to be extended to the miners who were injured, some of them severely, and those who were traumatised by the massacre.
“The company needs to report how many roads have been tarred, and exactly what progress has been made with the mega agricultural project, for instance. “Both the state and Sibanye-Stillwater have a moral responsibility to compensate victims. Given that the state’s compensation process has been pitifully slow, it is up to Sibanye-Stillwater to step up to the plate and plough some of the profits made in a very good trading year into compensation funds,” Capel said.
