Business Report writes that the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) on Tuesday called for a new commission of inquiry to be set up to find the “real perpetrators” of the Marikana massacre.
Amcu president Joseph Mathunjwa told journalists that the new commission would help get answers which the Farlam Commission into the deaths failed to do find. Forty-four people lost their lives in Marikana in August 2012. Mathunjwa said: “The Farlam Commission failed to find the real perpetrators of the massacre – those who gave the orders to the ones who pulled the triggers. We demand a commission, facilitated by a credible independent body, to get to the truth of who at the highest levels were responsible for the Marikana Massacre.” He also wants the new commission to set out the processes and forms of compensation that could bring about a real and deep process of healing to Lonmin employees and their families.
