We Will Never Forget How Our Brotehrs Were Massacred In Marikana!! #RememberMarikana

We will always remember the biggest massacre of our people by our government; we shall remember what the mining industry and their friends in government did to poor black people. The pain of that day will forever haunt our democratic South Africa as the truth is revealed, but justice is still playing seek and hide nothing new.

The biggest justice to this will be improved working conditions of mine workers, better wages, and a better government that won’t deploy police to negotiate salaries. The plea from the Amcu leader begging the workers to run for their lives sounded like an exaggeration, I remember vividly the day the police commissioner congratulated the police for what she called the best practice of public policing; it did not bother her that unarmed fathers were gunned down.

The white monopoly capital never loved us, but their accomplice in this uncalled for massacre claimed to be the government of the people, they claim they were protecting the lives of people; they were protecting the property of the mine on the mountain. Why they decided to disperse the miners on that mountain remains a taunting question. The question I wish South Africans should attempt to answer every time they face the ballot paper; the media proved it can never be relied on. They painted a picture that justified the killings of the poor black man asking for a better life. The life NUM has forever promised but never delivered.

We shall remember Marikana victims every day, may the souls of the fathers, brothers, uncles, sons and heroes of the black nation rest in peace. I only hope we will afford them justice one day, the courts will fail but we can do better than the courts. We can vote for a safer government, we can remind them about Marikana everyday because they hope we forget about it so they can pretend it never happened.

The ANC killed our own in Marikana,
