Fourteen years after the Marikana massacre, the families of the 34 mineworkers killed by police are still seeking criminal accountability for those responsible. The tragic event, which occurred in 2010, remains a stark symbol of labor unrest and police brutality in South Africa. Despite years of legal battles and inquiries, no one has been successfully prosecuted for the killings. Families express ongoing grief and frustration over the lack of progress in achieving justice for their loved ones. Meanwhile, trade unions continue to advocate for improved working conditions for mineworkers, aiming to prevent similar tragedies. The enduring struggle highlights systemic issues within the mining sector and the pursuit of justice in post-apartheid South Africa.
