The New Age reports that the case against 17 Marikana mineworkers charged for the murder of 10 people prior to the 16 August 2012 massacre has been postponed again.
The mineworkers appeared in the North West High Court in Mahikeng on Monday for a pre-trial conference. The case was postponed to 29 August after the mineworkers’ legal team said they would like to make representations to the court for the charges against the 17 to be dropped. The 17 are charged with murder, attempted murder, malicious damage to property and unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition for crimes alleged to have been committed from 12 to 15 August 2012. Ten people including two police officers, security guards and several union members were killed in the violence that gripped Marikana days before the 16 August shooting.
