In August 2012, mine workers in one of South Africa's biggest platinum mines began a wildcat strike for better wages. Six days into the strike, the police used live ammunition to brutally suppress it, killing 34 and injuring many more. The police insisted that they shot in self-defense. MINERS SHOT DOWN tells a different story, one that unfolds in real time over seven days, like a ticking time bomb.
The film weaves together the central point of view of three strike leaders, Mambush, Tholakele and Mzoxolo, with compelling police footage, TV archive and interviews with lawyers representing the miners in the ensuing commission of inquiry into the massacre. What emerges is a tragedy that arises out of the deep fault lines in South Africa's nascent democracy, of enduring poverty and a 20-year-old, unfulfilled promise of a better life for all.
A campaigning film, beautifully shot, sensitively told and accompanied by a haunting soundtrack, MINERS SHOT DOWN reveals how far the African National Congress has strayed from its progressive liberationist roots.
"MINERS SHOT DOWN will come to be seen as one of the most important physical remembrances, not only of the lives of the men who were killed, but also of a shameful and cowardly chapter of our recent history." -The Daily Maverick
"An unflinching account of the 2012 massacre of 38 South African miners in the town of Marikana." -Variety
"While telling a specific story, MINERS SHOT DOWN… delivers a powerful indictment, holding South African President Jacob Zuma and his government responsible for the so-called Marikana Massacre. Recommended!"—Video Librarian

00:00:14.810 --> 00:00:18.439
Our journey just to call
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:26.440
out Well you didn\'t follow the instruction we
did anybody should go as impulsive or tool
00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:28.980
It\'s the 16th of August 2012 outside the
London platinum mine America in South Africa
00:01:29.554 --> 00:01:37.554
a 112 striking miners are shot down by police
34 die like many other South Africans.
00:01:38.915 --> 00:01:46.915
The shooting shook me
to the core Events like
00:01:48.889 --> 00:01:52.908
this took me back to the massacres
of apartheid sharp filled
00:01:52.909 --> 00:02:00.909
1960 sweater 1976 killings like
these led South Africans to support
00:02:01.850 --> 00:02:04.188
Nelson Mandela and the struggle for
00:02:04.189 --> 00:02:11.569
freedom but today these miners are being
shot at by a new government to ensure that
00:02:11.570 --> 00:02:16.879
it\'s business as usual we could
see that lives were now being
00:02:16.880 --> 00:02:24.569
sacrificed for money and the young democracy
we had so much hope for was under threat
00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:36.918
This is not a day.
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:44.919
Talk pushing play it is a day for us
to mourn together as a nation it is
00:02:47.300 --> 00:02:55.300
also a day to start rebuilding and
healing the zaps the only nice to
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:04.840
advance a situation such as police members had
to employ force to protect themselves from
00:03:06.830 --> 00:03:14.610
the charging port Is
there time for time for
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.744
the sin and death moment we\'ll
00:03:21.745 --> 00:03:28.128
CDN2 the Americana commission
00:03:28.129 --> 00:03:34.803
of inquiry has set for over a year South
Africans watch in a state of shock.
00:03:34.804 --> 00:03:37.803
Half the police being
honest in their account.
00:03:37.804 --> 00:03:42.438
No they have not the big question remains.
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.638
Who sanctioned deobda to use
live ammunition against
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:54.639
the strikers My name is
Tony inside in February.
00:03:59.410 --> 00:04:05.584
Clear for the following families.
00:04:05.585 --> 00:04:09.570
I mean no king.
00:04:10.630 --> 00:04:18.630
Among them into Formula I will remodel
00:04:18.914 --> 00:04:26.914
peddling Jackson who fight.
00:04:28.655 --> 00:04:34.039
Same root. Show kindness.
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:42.040
They reach a sub paying for the ceiling the
00:04:44.770 --> 00:04:52.770
Parliament and the need for
us to add to this port
00:04:54.475 --> 00:05:00.149
it my whole life So
00:05:04.210 --> 00:05:12.210
you just say Bob bought a little law for
00:05:13.910 --> 00:05:15.359
this
00:05:36.990 --> 00:05:39.289
morning
00:05:39.290 --> 00:05:42.839
August 2012

allegedly illegal governing
by rock drum operators.
00:05:48.965 --> 00:05:51.379
It six days before the massacre.
00:05:51.380 --> 00:05:56.148
The mining company London is filming
the miners as I gathered outside
00:05:56.149 --> 00:06:01.548
the mind alone means security guard
reports everything he sees group
00:06:01.549 --> 00:06:05.599

A crowd of rock jewelers meet a march to

the Longman Management Office they
believe the official majority unions
00:06:38.494 --> 00:06:41.899
the National Union of Mineworkers
are in the pockets of
00:06:41.900 --> 00:06:45.739
management and so they\'ve
decided to take matters into
00:06:45.740 --> 00:06:53.643
their own hands they are joined by workers
from a competing Union Scotland and England.

00:09:05.650 --> 00:09:13.650
They got for normal concretes although
I thought I would say that most of
00:09:16.579 --> 00:09:22.398
us do not modify that up 400 chain of
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:30.399
command then I know when I find a plateau.
00:09:30.874 --> 00:09:33.708
But does metadata and of

00:09:59.020 --> 00:10:01.684
Thomas I didn\'t approve.
00:10:01.685 --> 00:10:05.549
But then then who Kovach though to

everybody ends up buffoon

00:10:22.009 --> 00:10:26.239
another 90 part and when
Yana and the petiole Jack

app The average take-home
pay of rock drillers is
00:10:34.489 --> 00:10:42.489
5 thousand South African wrong the equivalent
of 500 Euros dollars this condemns
00:10:42.830 --> 00:10:45.179
them to poverty that he say
00:10:45.280 --> 00:10:48.019
mining companies like Longmen view
00:10:48.020 --> 00:10:51.319
higher wages as the biggest
threat to the continued health of
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:59.320
the business Longmen is a British company
00:11:01.355 --> 00:11:07.024
which started drilling for platinum in
South Africa 30 years ago it employs
00:11:07.025 --> 00:11:10.098
28 thousand people exporting
00:11:10.099 --> 00:11:15.690
the world\'s most precious metal out
of the country And around the globe.
00:11:15.730 --> 00:11:22.458
The company has spent large sums of money
on a massive program of expansion.
00:11:22.459 --> 00:11:25.488
Leaving it financially vulnerable.
00:11:25.489 --> 00:11:30.109
The prospect of a long strike
was the last thing they wanted.
00:11:30.110 --> 00:11:37.984
We experienced a group of workers
who studied matching from
00:11:37.985 --> 00:11:41.748
the Warner Pop area to us
displays which we call
00:11:41.749 --> 00:11:46.894
LPD These are the people who defined
mining if they don\'t drill.
00:11:46.895 --> 00:11:51.109
There\'s no mining. So if they are
not that web it becomes obvious.
00:11:51.110 --> 00:11:55.369
They matched until the four-way
junction which is a profitability year
00:11:55.370 --> 00:12:00.768
And at that point obviously that\'s
when the security engaged them and at
00:12:00.769 --> 00:12:03.859
no point did this group of employees
00:12:03.860 --> 00:12:08.734
demonstrate they had anything to
present a couple of months previously
00:12:08.735 --> 00:12:10.158
London admit directly with
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:14.868
that same struck committee to discuss the
grievances yet now they wouldn\'t talk to them
00:12:14.869 --> 00:12:16.679
why
00:12:24.610 --> 00:12:25.758
the
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.383
story of the Americana massacre.
00:12:28.384 --> 00:12:30.273
Would be incomplete.
00:12:30.274 --> 00:12:33.048
Without a close look at the involvement of
00:12:33.049 --> 00:12:40.039
civil ram opposer I had watched him with
admiration He built the largest trade union
00:12:40.040 --> 00:12:41.719
the country had ever seen
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.888
the National Union of
Mineworkers under serums
00:12:45.889 --> 00:12:50.193
leadership Nome Saw the miners
join the fight against apartheid.
00:12:50.194 --> 00:12:55.920
And I took my place marching
side-by-side behind their banner.
00:12:56.290 --> 00:12:58.939
It must be remembered that it was
00:12:58.940 --> 00:13:04.533
the mining industry and specifically
the Chamber of mine which pioneered
00:13:04.534 --> 00:13:07.504
the most oppressive features of
00:13:07.505 --> 00:13:08.659
apartheid South
00:13:08.660 --> 00:13:10.230
Africa
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.708
Mine workers
00:13:21.709 --> 00:13:25.789
have always had to put up with harsh
living and working conditions.
00:13:25.790 --> 00:13:29.344
So Rama posa was determined to change this.
00:13:29.345 --> 00:13:32.538
Under his leadership workers were led into
00:13:32.539 --> 00:13:36.454
mass strikes and direct confrontation
with the white mine owners.
00:13:36.455 --> 00:13:40.878
He was for me a vital and
important person in the birth of
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:47.539
the new South Africa there\'s no such thing
as a liberal bourgeois they\'re all the same.
00:13:47.540 --> 00:13:51.859
They use fascist levels to destroy workers
00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:59.029
lives He soon became
00:13:59.030 --> 00:14:02.689
a leading member of the African
National Congress and from
00:14:02.690 --> 00:14:07.399
this position joined the Black
economic elite ram opposed.
00:14:07.400 --> 00:14:12.783
Who once or South Africa\'s working class
as a force to bringing about change.
00:14:12.784 --> 00:14:18.784
Now found himself on the other side of
the table at the time as the massacre.
00:14:18.785 --> 00:14:21.133
He was a board member of long mainland.
00:14:21.134 --> 00:14:25.819
We\'ve gone through our waves of
starts and we always have strikes.
00:14:25.820 --> 00:14:31.398
Because we have such a robust
democratic system that allows
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:38.013
workers to express themselves and
people should never be alarmed.
00:14:38.014 --> 00:14:42.428
This is the South African
way And we need to accept
00:14:42.429 --> 00:14:48.369
that workers will voice
their dissatisfaction.
00:14:48.370 --> 00:14:52.253
Through withdrawing their labour.
00:14:52.254 --> 00:14:55.508
What we are against is that.
00:14:55.509 --> 00:14:58.899
Quite a number of those strikes
have tended to ten violent.
00:14:58.900 --> 00:15:05.960
That is one behavior pattern that
we need to get out of our system
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:28.129
Ironically the National Union of
Mineworkers num the powerful union which
00:15:28.130 --> 00:15:33.694
saw Arama pose a one-slide was still
the majority Union inside their minds.
00:15:33.695 --> 00:15:37.818
But in the lead up to the long range
strike gnome head refuse to address
00:15:37.819 --> 00:15:42.169
the low wages of their members and
when London management talked to
00:15:42.170 --> 00:15:44.808
workers that they would only negotiate says
00:15:44.809 --> 00:15:49.699
the majority union the workers
decided to go back to nums office
00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:54.739
about three pairs on to workers strike
has marched down to the mem offers
00:15:54.740 --> 00:15:57.408
the people who are in the new
officers and there are probably
00:15:57.409 --> 00:16:00.513
about 30 Branch officials and shops years.
00:16:00.514 --> 00:16:03.168
They\'d been advised by the
London security that the march
00:16:03.169 --> 00:16:05.959
was solids way and if they didn\'t want
to meet them arch And they should

00:18:45.050 --> 00:18:49.219
that did they we\'ll add this pop off the
moment disabled taiga standards have
00:18:49.220 --> 00:18:52.459
said that as an Ngram would
believe that those people
00:18:52.460 --> 00:18:55.729
in that circumstances found
themselves and we\'ll end
00:18:55.730 --> 00:18:59.844
with one condemn what they did
in many respects that was
00:18:59.845 --> 00:19:05.194
a complete turning point because
up until that point That beam.
00:19:05.195 --> 00:19:08.313
Very little violence I\'m not
saying there wasn\'t any violence.
00:19:08.314 --> 00:19:11.029
People said was a bit of intimidation
I really don\'t know about
00:19:11.030 --> 00:19:14.084
it but no one was being killed.
00:19:14.085 --> 00:19:17.673
So my leg the leg Knowsalot spill
that Divina food in the side.
00:19:17.674 --> 00:19:21.574
Hit a grounding pill.
00:19:21.575 --> 00:19:24.049
So a planning Dawn.
00:19:24.050 --> 00:19:27.288
Is bad Georgia Linda and
pillars now palisade
00:19:27.289 --> 00:19:31.698
Tom silicone Masada and dab
it in jabayo and I got
00:19:31.699 --> 00:19:39.699
these giga gnomon mom
banned 11 to further draw.
00:19:40.025 --> 00:19:42.604
Every time the miners gather
00:19:42.605 --> 00:19:48.274
the Longmen security guard keeps a
keen eye on them After the shootings.
00:19:48.275 --> 00:19:56.275
Of two people allegedly from Korea area
such ICN is fairly comma this state
00:19:58.505 --> 00:20:02.959
no direct greatest
maturity as a reaction to
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:08.179
numb shooting at their own members the
conflict grows Longmen rock tutors from
00:20:08.180 --> 00:20:12.858
the nearby carry shaft join the
strike in numbers they belong
00:20:12.859 --> 00:20:17.883
to the competing union the association
of construction and mine workers union.
00:20:17.884 --> 00:20:19.529
I\'m 6\'2
00:20:27.580 --> 00:20:29.823
I\'m cuz leader
00:20:29.824 --> 00:20:34.969
Joseph more tundra like grammar posa
20 years before him is fighting
00:20:34.970 --> 00:20:40.879
the system and believes num has become far
too close to mine management and government.
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:46.980
He soon becomes an important player
in the unfolding events at maricon
00:20:49.900 --> 00:20:53.404
What you\'ve got is liberates
00:20:53.405 --> 00:20:58.548
the only thing that we\'d better feedback
is to change it Administration which was
00:20:58.549 --> 00:21:03.064
run by the White cannot then
is our trend h. Now what did
00:21:03.065 --> 00:21:10.349
Moses Bono who just says really taught
I will almost seem values is given
00:21:33.790 --> 00:21:40.218
Run the 12th they decide that
they\'re going to go back to the
00:21:40.219 --> 00:21:46.654
amorphous is this time I think that there
are inferior and they take their own.
00:21:46.655 --> 00:21:52.879
Course of action and they all
stopped rarely by London.
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.539
Security guards and not much is known of
00:21:56.540 --> 00:22:01.069
what happened on that day I
mean there is a suggestion that
00:22:01.070 --> 00:22:05.269
these guards who have to say or poorly
00:22:05.270 --> 00:22:10.878
paid ordinary black working class
people who were sent out to confront.
00:22:10.879 --> 00:22:15.163
On behalf all this multinational
firm of exploiters
00:22:15.164 --> 00:22:21.468
The the demonstration that\'s coming
to them but whatever happened
00:22:21.469 --> 00:22:28.728
to girls were killed and one of
them in particular was bound to
00:22:28.729 --> 00:22:30.270
a cinder
00:23:00.660 --> 00:23:02.319
Cyril ram
00:23:02.320 --> 00:23:04.373
oppose it was close to Nelson Mandela.
00:23:04.374 --> 00:23:07.463
We thought he was succeeded
Mandela presidency.
00:23:07.464 --> 00:23:09.009
After the massacre.
00:23:09.010 --> 00:23:14.709
I was hoping to have an honest discussion
about what really took place in America but
00:23:14.710 --> 00:23:17.348
he quickly made it clear
that he would speak only in
00:23:17.349 --> 00:23:20.813
January terms until appearing
before the Commission.
00:23:20.814 --> 00:23:26.858
We were the first country
to have a wave of strikes.
00:23:26.859 --> 00:23:29.153
Let\'s just get that clear.
00:23:29.154 --> 00:23:37.044
Many countries both middle-income countries
low income countries and high income
00:23:37.045 --> 00:23:39.518
countries have been through waves of
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:45.899
strife And many of those strikes in some
countries have even toppled governments.
00:24:00.570 --> 00:24:05.254
You\'d. It wasn\'t as if the
16th was a day are slated
00:24:05.255 --> 00:24:09.814
from context you have to look back
to the Monday before that Thursday.
00:24:09.815 --> 00:24:13.144
When a group of a 150 to 200 miners
00:24:13.145 --> 00:24:17.659
went from that copy to Korea
three mind with the herd.
00:24:17.660 --> 00:24:20.808
There were still some miners working
in they want to tell them to
00:24:20.809 --> 00:24:23.928
down tools Intimidation solidarity you can
00:24:23.929 --> 00:24:26.974
call it what you want
there were turned back
00:24:26.975 --> 00:24:30.628
by the security to the mind we
told them go back with that treat.
00:24:30.629 --> 00:24:36.318
There went back with that Truett
halfway back to that copy.
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:38.538
They were met by a cordon of
00:24:38.539 --> 00:24:45.318
police and usually led
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:49.559
by the Deputy Commissioner for
the Northwest general impending
00:25:04.260 --> 00:25:09.119
He says Is into Nr is paired to Azi yet
00:25:09.120 --> 00:25:16.884
doing my yeah yeah yeah pneumonia.
00:25:16.885 --> 00:25:19.160
I mean you guys are looses.
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:28.640
Then allowed us right now how can
00:25:31.570 --> 00:25:35.868
I do that I don\'t like that and
00:25:35.869 --> 00:25:43.869
I\'m not gonna do that
00:26:06.410 --> 00:26:13.638
But as important.
00:26:13.639 --> 00:26:21.639
Can you then begin to
understand the standpoint of
00:26:23.140 --> 00:26:28.239
those employees they say by
the way we have no issue with
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:34.264
you as the police Now
that\'s very fundamental.
00:26:34.265 --> 00:26:39.918
Is like the one to remind
everybody including the police
00:26:39.919 --> 00:26:47.919
that in a democracy where cosmic
negotiate with the employers.
00:26:48.035 --> 00:26:56.035
The police should not be this shield between
employees rights and employers applications
00:27:05.560 --> 00:27:09.689
or one that\'s not right
00:27:11.470 --> 00:27:19.279
The very interesting part about it is when
the negotiations between Jeran timber.
00:27:19.280 --> 00:27:21.559
In some other way can lead us.
00:27:21.560 --> 00:27:23.748
Including funny nope.
00:27:23.749 --> 00:27:26.659
The so-called man in the clinic blanket.
00:27:26.660 --> 00:27:33.108
Members. Now when it is clear that the
employees have put their position.
00:27:33.109 --> 00:27:36.484
Look. Few oriented disarmament.
That\'s okay.
00:27:36.485 --> 00:27:41.219
But you need to as caught us
for a year to the mountain
00:27:57.370 --> 00:28:05.370
And Chandra and pamby
reaches a stage where it
00:28:08.329 --> 00:28:10.729
says Now let me get to state i you
00:28:10.730 --> 00:28:14.869
saying if we escort to to the mountain
when you get there you\'ll end
00:28:14.870 --> 00:28:21.559
over the weapons to us and they
say yes and at that point he gets
00:28:21.560 --> 00:28:29.560
a telephone cord but he said in
effect when one looks at that clip.
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:37.599
These attitude isn\'t radical before and
after that phone call Hi I\'m dose.
00:28:39.535 --> 00:28:47.535
We afford now in conto we are again
Diane demand myrtle that Tony in
00:28:49.550 --> 00:28:55.388
Canto Yeah
00:28:55.389 --> 00:29:02.099
I think I think
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:25.200
they go into their soul and
they just get up and go
00:29:43.450 --> 00:29:46.114
And again to either credit.
00:29:46.115 --> 00:29:50.479
At that point gentle
impairment doesn\'t say should
00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:58.480
this baggers here allows them pay much
in the simply provide a quarter note
00:30:18.220 --> 00:30:23.838
This group of miners or walking
slowly and deliberately.
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:28.920
From the video footage you see that
don\'t seem to pose any threat.
00:30:31.330 --> 00:30:36.574
Suddenly you see tear gas being fired
Berlin wireless I\'m shots fired.
00:30:36.575 --> 00:30:41.374
They get ignored that just keep
going and there\'s a line of police
00:30:41.375 --> 00:30:47.549
jogging alongside them on the one side
this armored vehicles keeps going.
00:30:52.930 --> 00:30:59.280
Another body of shots and
tear gas Cricket break.
00:31:00.490 --> 00:31:03.619
So this is a PBS.
00:31:03.620 --> 00:31:09.763
Learning to run less than the
agreement from what we see
00:31:09.764 --> 00:31:12.949
the peoples that are running around
00:31:12.950 --> 00:31:18.138
after the stamp lemmings here had been
thrown in exploded it\'s only then
00:31:18.139 --> 00:31:23.284
that people start running around
connectedness and none of the commanders.
00:31:23.285 --> 00:31:25.158
At admit to having given
00:31:25.159 --> 00:31:29.508
instruction in fact somebody who
told us alleged that you are given
00:31:29.509 --> 00:31:32.898
the instruction and you are
quite emphatic that was not
00:31:32.899 --> 00:31:37.864
true but none of the commanders gave
the order Coons instructions to
00:31:37.865 --> 00:31:41.559
the information that you have
So I don\'t think he\'s really
00:31:41.560 --> 00:31:45.968
puzzling and in that chaos three minus are
00:31:45.969 --> 00:31:49.493
killed one of whom seems to have been
00:31:49.494 --> 00:31:55.129
stabbed to death and it\'s unclear who
caused their death in what circumstances.
00:31:57.870 --> 00:32:02.510
Also two cops get quota and get killed
00:32:22.930 --> 00:32:27.618
To strike us were not killed at the
scene to strikers were killed.
00:32:27.619 --> 00:32:32.598
Perhaps 300 meters another
800 meters from that scene.
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:38.178
My interpretation is that these
two strikers were fleeing
00:32:38.179 --> 00:32:43.924
and running away from the scene and
were pursued by police officers.
00:32:43.925 --> 00:32:47.928
One in particular I believe
that when he was perhaps
00:32:47.929 --> 00:32:51.829
800 meters away from the scene
and was running through a river
00:32:51.830 --> 00:32:55.429
and up the bank on the other
side I believe he was
00:32:55.430 --> 00:32:59.658
targeted by a police
officer and was shot and
00:32:59.659 --> 00:33:03.169
I described that as being an execution
people took cell phone pictures of
00:33:03.170 --> 00:33:08.028
the The Police and the circulated
through all police circles.
00:33:08.029 --> 00:33:12.994
Every single province got these
police to policemen had been killed.
00:33:12.995 --> 00:33:16.579
Now to be realistic we know that cops have
00:33:16.580 --> 00:33:19.608
a kind of iron clad drill you
00:33:19.609 --> 00:33:23.448
take us out we\'re going to take you out you
didn\'t get away with killing policemen.
00:33:23.449 --> 00:33:27.570
That\'s police forces
across the world actually
00:33:56.740 --> 00:34:00.109
It\'s two days before the massacre.
00:34:00.110 --> 00:34:04.429
Already a total of nine
people have been killed with
00:34:04.430 --> 00:34:09.139
the latest and num official
being marked by a cow\'s skull.
00:34:09.140 --> 00:34:14.658
The sign of a traitor conflict
between the strikers and gnome goes
00:34:14.659 --> 00:34:20.269
from bad to worse it what it does
more as to what is the motif.
00:34:20.270 --> 00:34:24.528
Because no organization worth
its salt can embark on on on
00:34:24.529 --> 00:34:28.769
on on this barbaric way of raising
issues And we believe that the partners
00:34:28.770 --> 00:34:36.049
know that NUM will never be involved in
this kind of barbaric way of dealing with
00:34:36.050 --> 00:34:39.708
users non-man begins its
campaign of pinning
00:34:39.709 --> 00:34:43.849
responsibility for the violence
on the striking miners.
00:34:43.850 --> 00:34:45.438
We didn\'t.
00:34:45.439 --> 00:34:49.698
Not anticipate this type of
violence and I don\'t think
00:34:49.699 --> 00:34:51.919
any organization in this country could have
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:55.770
anticipated this type of violence
because it\'s not normal.
00:34:56.500 --> 00:35:01.218
So that\'s why we looking and searching
and using the police particularly the
00:35:01.219 --> 00:35:06.569
crime intelligence to understand
the root cause of the situation
00:35:31.600 --> 00:35:37.204
Running casseroles joined the fight
against apartheid in the 19 sixties.
00:35:37.205 --> 00:35:39.679
Following this short film massacre.
00:35:39.680 --> 00:35:44.704
He sat on the National Executive
Committee of the ANC for 20 years
00:35:44.705 --> 00:35:50.074
and was considered by the white minority regime
as one of their most dangerous opponents.
00:35:50.075 --> 00:35:55.863
Why the use Police force
onto the teeth against
00:35:55.864 --> 00:36:02.629
2-3 thousand miners who were not
occupying mining property or territory.
00:36:02.630 --> 00:36:06.274
Were not occupying any
strategic point we\'re not
00:36:06.275 --> 00:36:10.639
blocking the national
highway or any minor road.
00:36:10.640 --> 00:36:15.424
They were seated at a distance from
00:36:15.425 --> 00:36:20.913
any any key point to I please
visibility and presence law remained.
00:36:20.914 --> 00:36:26.460
Until the situation is completely
stable and currently we are seeing.
00:36:27.490 --> 00:36:34.879
Mind work as part of our
phased approach In terms
00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:37.238
of discussing and negotiating with
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:42.389
the protesters and that\'s the process
that you\'re busy with after statuary.
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:04.999
I\'m not at all sure why they brought
in a hostage negotiator to try and
00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:09.709
negotiate with 3 thousand
strike as it does seem Bizarre.
00:37:09.710 --> 00:37:14.568
Particularly as the strike is who always
said We want to negotiate but we want to
00:37:14.569 --> 00:37:20.370
negotiate with management kinda.
00:37:22.370 --> 00:37:29.253
Yeah Communist gardener but
don\'t tell them please.
00:37:29.254 --> 00:37:33.048
Any weapons weapons.
00:37:33.049 --> 00:37:38.238
It\'s not for us and nothing
would happen to them they
00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:43.714
National Police Commissioner ported
Longman to produce photographs
00:37:43.715 --> 00:37:48.168
of the demonstrators she
then ordered London to
00:37:48.169 --> 00:37:53.348
identify the ring leaders
I need to indicate that
00:37:53.349 --> 00:38:00.323
a management styles and
00:38:00.324 --> 00:38:05.753
also continue to assist me to
identify them from their fortunes.
00:38:05.754 --> 00:38:10.853
But what is clear is not the person
that they\'re would\'ve identified.
00:38:10.854 --> 00:38:14.424
Because he was the main
negotiator is Mr. loci.
00:38:14.425 --> 00:38:16.374
The man in the green blanket.
00:38:16.375 --> 00:38:22.519
What we know about Muslim Inaki is that
he has 14 bullet holes in him he is dead
00:38:36.580 --> 00:38:42.619
Then I will stop at the stop stopping for
00:38:42.620 --> 00:38:48.858
leaders is asking is asking can you
turn the motor off so we can talk.
00:38:48.859 --> 00:38:55.789
Related to weight cannot to
be heard over the noise of
00:38:55.790 --> 00:38:59.149
the running engine strike
lead a man boast climbs onto
00:38:59.150 --> 00:39:03.780
the armored vehicle to talk to
the police hostage negotiation.
00:39:04.510 --> 00:39:08.220
Thank him. Thank him
00:39:10.270 --> 00:39:18.270
quite a lot And I\'m going to
00:39:27.340 --> 00:39:35.340
talk about what happened at
00:39:38.260 --> 00:39:46.260
the same time and I went I went
up and going and minus does not
00:39:48.425 --> 00:39:53.250
produce having studied
whether this particular
00:39:54.360 --> 00:40:00.588
result But Longmen continued to
00:40:00.589 --> 00:40:03.469
refuse to meet the strikers what
00:40:03.470 --> 00:40:06.919
happened next was only discovered
a year into the commission.
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:11.238
When the police were ordered to
hand over files that they had
00:40:11.239 --> 00:40:17.988
hidden it is a transcript of a conversation
that took place two days before the massacre.
00:40:17.989 --> 00:40:22.759
Between an executive of Longmen and the
provincial Commissioner of Police.
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:29.013
It reveals the state and Longmen putting their
heads together on how to break the strike.
00:40:29.014 --> 00:40:35.388
Before it spread to other minds we need to act
such that we kill this thing immediately.
00:40:35.389 --> 00:40:38.749
Yes Tomorrow we have to move in if
00:40:38.750 --> 00:40:42.139
today we do not find cooperation
in these people we need to
00:40:42.140 --> 00:40:45.258
move in such that we can
it so I agree with you
00:40:45.259 --> 00:40:49.144
Commissioner if it can arrest these
people because the longer it goes.
00:40:49.145 --> 00:40:52.489
It is giving all the other
opportunities to comment and seize
00:40:52.490 --> 00:40:56.149
the opportunity and then it
gets out of control that is
00:40:56.150 --> 00:40:59.269
it so I think yes that tomorrow be
00:40:59.270 --> 00:41:03.619
the D-Day where we issue the ultimatum
and say If you do not show up for work.
00:41:03.620 --> 00:41:05.849
Sorry that is it
00:41:29.060 --> 00:41:32.849
You may go to
00:41:44.890 --> 00:41:49.600
this other node along
00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:56.489
this robot
00:42:05.450 --> 00:42:06.753
Alright
00:42:06.754 --> 00:42:06.889
it
00:42:06.890 --> 00:42:09.378

democratic Good morning to you Good monitor

the president of unquote if a good
monitor units to match withdrew.
00:42:34.294 --> 00:42:40.223
Their machine to to cada Ada Stevia
guys came out of the offices of
00:42:40.224 --> 00:42:45.574
NUM fiat adult tickets There was no
firing at any point due on Friday.
00:42:45.575 --> 00:42:50.088
This feather confirms my view that
unquote behind them much the fact that
00:42:50.089 --> 00:42:54.964
they one way of achieving that is if the
leaders of the two polygons the unions.
00:42:54.965 --> 00:42:58.068
Come together go there
publicly together and say okay
00:42:58.069 --> 00:43:01.263
for now let\'s go back to
work we early on is that
00:43:01.264 --> 00:43:07.128
our outside ready to take us there ever
too difficult unless I cyclical times
00:43:07.129 --> 00:43:09.214
I\'m thankful any Muslim corner yes
00:43:09.215 --> 00:43:13.323
Kalanick our position as
management is as follows we agree.
00:43:13.324 --> 00:43:14.943
People must be designed.
00:43:14.944 --> 00:43:21.378
We went to meet the structures of the unions
to discuss any grievance or consent in
00:43:21.379 --> 00:43:24.529
the most civilized manner
Without pandas and without
00:43:24.530 --> 00:43:28.024
cars we can do it now we can
do it as soon as possible.
00:43:28.025 --> 00:43:31.999
Ready let\'s go then let\'s hope that\'s
bulges at Montana and agreement.
00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:36.738
During a radio interview the leaders of
the trade unions agree on air to address
00:43:36.739 --> 00:43:41.419
the miners at the mountain
London\'s Barnard mucuna remains
00:43:41.420 --> 00:43:43.128
silent about whether he will join
00:43:43.129 --> 00:43:49.519
them on the drive towards Americana
afforded reached out and had been there
00:43:49.520 --> 00:43:51.928
before afforded reached
it because there are
00:43:51.929 --> 00:43:55.728
all these armored vehicles police
armored vehicles and private
00:43:55.729 --> 00:43:59.148
security vehicles with fully
addressed tactical guys
00:43:59.149 --> 00:44:02.613
in uniforms had never seen military gear.
00:44:02.614 --> 00:44:06.378
No policing getters all
automatic Metagraph wills are
00:44:06.379 --> 00:44:12.259
fives sixes and I stopped the
thing had reached the kind of
00:44:12.260 --> 00:44:16.219
front-line or the police but they\'re
all eating and having a p and
00:44:16.220 --> 00:44:19.879
you know the parsing time so I kept
00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:23.629
going and eventually got to
the right spot and it was
00:44:23.630 --> 00:44:28.590
clear that this thing was
going to be a huge conflict
00:45:04.870 --> 00:45:08.689
Minus shutdown answer on positive six.
00:45:08.690 --> 00:45:11.643
One person who commanded the respect of
00:45:11.644 --> 00:45:16.098
all parties and he might have been
able to resolve the conflict was so
00:45:16.099 --> 00:45:19.953
Ram opposer because the
former mine worker leader
00:45:19.954 --> 00:45:23.689
is now one of the most
influential politicians inside
00:45:23.690 --> 00:45:30.948
the ruling party Did
00:45:30.949 --> 00:45:36.273
it ever cross your mind to go to the
mountain to speak to the workers.
00:45:36.274 --> 00:45:41.718
I prefer not to answer that one because
if I ever got to give evidence.
00:45:41.719 --> 00:45:49.719
Have to deal with things like that email
communication was uncovered at the commission.
00:45:50.164 --> 00:45:53.869
Sharing Silvano posa energetically lobbying
00:45:53.870 --> 00:45:59.508
government ministers to increase police
presence and pressing for action to be
00:45:59.509 --> 00:46:07.509
taken against the minus chairperson will
have the now procession Emails that
00:46:09.290 --> 00:46:15.874
were being exchanged between the mind
management the government minister
00:46:15.875 --> 00:46:22.953
of minerals and energy which talk about
discussions with the Minister of police.
00:46:22.954 --> 00:46:26.324
At the center of which is
a gentleman called Rama
00:46:26.325 --> 00:46:30.599
posa Saran oppose or writes
about discussions he had with
00:46:30.600 --> 00:46:33.858
the Minister of mining
citizenship Bangor she
00:46:33.859 --> 00:46:38.928
agrees that what we are going through is
not a labor dispute but a criminal act.
00:46:38.929 --> 00:46:43.248
She\'s going into a cabinet and we\'ll
brief the President as well and
00:46:43.249 --> 00:46:48.034
get the Minister of police not Tim
tetra to act in a more pointed way
00:46:48.035 --> 00:46:50.569
Let\'s just keep the pressure on them to act
00:46:50.570 --> 00:46:55.158
correctly by interrupting you but what
is the date of that email which is
00:46:55.159 --> 00:47:02.718
the 15th of August 258 exactly 24
hours before the people were moved
00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:10.719
down then that that mountain stellar I\'m a
parser advised that what was taking place.
00:47:11.120 --> 00:47:14.119
Uh plainly I\'m quoting now task that link
00:47:14.120 --> 00:47:22.008
criminal and must be characterised as
such in line with this characterization.
00:47:22.009 --> 00:47:26.689
There needs to be concomitant
action to address
00:47:26.690 --> 00:47:32.419
the situation That at the heart of
00:47:32.420 --> 00:47:39.574
this was the toxic collision
between the S-A-P-S and London.
00:47:39.575 --> 00:47:43.848
At the direct level at a
much broader level it can
00:47:43.849 --> 00:47:47.793
be called a collusion between
the state and capital.
00:47:47.794 --> 00:47:50.569
Black people who get into
00:47:50.570 --> 00:47:57.559
come white owned companies through the
black economic empowerment process
00:47:57.560 --> 00:48:04.189
then get into a system one
which is very reluctant to
00:48:04.190 --> 00:48:11.464
change and to which they don\'t own
completely and which they don\'t control.
00:48:11.465 --> 00:48:19.439
So Best what they do or why
do we do is to be advocates
00:48:54.190 --> 00:48:58.128
After the radio broadcast
Joseph Martin\'s where
00:48:58.129 --> 00:49:01.998
the leader of Ankur arrives at the mountain
with the num leadership in an attempt
00:49:01.999 --> 00:49:04.938
to persuade their workers
to return to work on
00:49:04.939 --> 00:49:08.478
the basis of a commitment made on
air by Longmen management that they
00:49:08.479 --> 00:49:12.828
were now willing to talk Joseph and
00:49:12.829 --> 00:49:15.019
Tanjore told me that uh he confidently
00:49:15.020 --> 00:49:18.429
expected that when he arrived that there
would be a meeting between himself.
00:49:18.430 --> 00:49:19.758
This does Corner.
00:49:19.759 --> 00:49:21.454
And the London management.
00:49:21.455 --> 00:49:26.898
Instead what he found was the general mere
pamby he asked would either tritium in
00:49:26.899 --> 00:49:32.629
leaders go up to the mountain to speak to
the strikers and say leave your arms there.
00:49:32.630 --> 00:49:35.669
Leave the mountain just leave
00:49:36.340 --> 00:49:42.319
A small delegation from num went first
and they went and armored truck and
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:45.048
the armored truck approached the mountain
00:49:45.049 --> 00:49:49.219
and the strikers were told that
inside the truck was the president of
00:49:49.220 --> 00:49:52.998
the National Union of Mineworkers
and that he wasn\'t getting out of
00:49:52.999 --> 00:49:57.918
the truck it was clear from the reception.
00:49:57.919 --> 00:50:01.469
They simply didn\'t want they
did not want them there.
00:50:09.490 --> 00:50:12.798
Well Joseph had a much better reception.
00:50:12.799 --> 00:50:15.498
Again he was not allowed by
the police to get out of
00:50:15.499 --> 00:50:22.458
the truck And then it wasn\'t
just in front of them being
00:50:22.459 --> 00:50:26.029
spent their insight to come up with other
00:50:26.030 --> 00:50:30.448
well why don\'t you simply say you
can come to a data point could just
00:50:30.449 --> 00:50:38.449
walk where we just go and talk to
girls preseason workbook you will
00:50:40.415 --> 00:50:46.519
finish the term Adam climate
and our plan is to pull
00:50:46.520 --> 00:50:54.150
back there
00:50:58.810 --> 00:51:03.500
although I was dead Yeah
00:51:14.080 --> 00:51:17.778
he made headway on the
strikers came to him and said
00:51:17.779 --> 00:51:21.364
Look it\'s late in the
day it\'s getting dark.
00:51:21.365 --> 00:51:25.894
What we\'d like you to do is to come
back at nine o\'clock in the morning.
00:51:25.895 --> 00:51:27.633
But more significantly.
00:51:27.634 --> 00:51:32.718
He was telling them that if they
were to leave the mountain.
00:51:32.719 --> 00:51:37.979
Then management would address their grievances
in other words at least speak to them
00:51:58.650 --> 00:52:02.769
So he went back and he reported
that Earth to the police and to
00:52:02.770 --> 00:52:08.499
the London management to the factor
the Peter Joseph tungiasis is other
00:52:08.500 --> 00:52:12.519
we\'re really optimistic I mean general
my-append Bei He said in fact saluted
00:52:12.520 --> 00:52:18.294
him and said well done and one
of the other Longman managers.
00:52:18.295 --> 00:52:22.988
Said yes. Congratulations maybe we
can do that and so there was a sort
00:52:22.989 --> 00:52:29.100
of chunk that was a light there
Someone that could be developed
00:53:00.730 --> 00:53:06.109
to remember that we said our intention is
00:53:06.110 --> 00:53:11.329
to the people And are also our
intention is to make sure that
00:53:11.330 --> 00:53:15.619
the people that they leave that
illegal gathering area where they
00:53:15.620 --> 00:53:20.598
are and that is what we will do today and I
00:53:20.599 --> 00:53:24.018
said to you we wish that we will do
00:53:24.019 --> 00:53:30.768
that still amicable Meaning
we will ask them to leave.
00:53:30.769 --> 00:53:36.604
But then I don\'t want to explain
to you if they don\'t wet.
00:53:36.605 --> 00:53:44.605
What I told you is today we
n-d this mid what we have
00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:50.539
statements from the National Commission
and the provincial Commissioner which
00:53:50.540 --> 00:53:55.023
make clear that the night before
00:53:55.024 --> 00:53:57.949
the provincial Commissioner had informed
00:53:57.950 --> 00:54:02.928
the National Commissioner that accepts could
not persuade the strikers to lay down
00:54:02.929 --> 00:54:06.918
their weapons and leave the copy by
negotiations she would issue an instruction for
00:54:06.919 --> 00:54:11.299
the strikers to be dispersed
After deliberations.
00:54:11.300 --> 00:54:16.564
The meeting endorsed the proposal to disarm
the protesting masses and further indicated
00:54:16.565 --> 00:54:19.368
that additional resources
must be made available upon
00:54:19.369 --> 00:54:23.429
needs identification by the
provincial commissioner Northwest
00:54:49.690 --> 00:54:57.690
The most foreboding indication
of the intentions of those who
00:54:57.709 --> 00:55:04.983
placed an order for for short
events vans from the morgue.
00:55:04.984 --> 00:55:07.999
What else are you anticipate
it says Statement of
00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:11.329
anticipation of what is good
to have them can we not
00:55:11.330 --> 00:55:14.209
please move on to the morning of 16 August
00:55:14.210 --> 00:55:21.169
2012 we then requested one of the
security to call Mr. quality
00:55:21.170 --> 00:55:25.623
and to advise him that we have arrived as
00:55:25.624 --> 00:55:32.118
we were inside the office he said
it doesn\'t have good news for us
00:55:32.119 --> 00:55:38.779
He was referring to the commitment made
by the management that once there were
00:55:38.780 --> 00:55:45.558
caused renounced vow lens live arms
and return back to work peacefully.
00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:51.060
Their management we will
engage to their grievances.
00:56:02.260 --> 00:56:06.619
We now know that this was a joint
operation between London and
00:56:06.620 --> 00:56:10.188
the police that lawn moon was
completely integrated into
00:56:10.189 --> 00:56:13.998
the police strategy and the
system the police strategy It
00:56:13.999 --> 00:56:18.978
provided a senior executive to
be part of the police team they
00:56:18.979 --> 00:56:23.028
briefed the police officers and
senior generals at least once every
00:56:23.029 --> 00:56:30.303
day they provided helicopters and went out
on surveillance expeditions with the police.
00:56:30.304 --> 00:56:35.269
They provided detention facilities
and at the very end of the day
00:56:35.270 --> 00:56:37.399
after all the killings
were done they provided
00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:40.559
the London game farm for
the people who failed.
00:56:48.670 --> 00:56:54.109
Are we to believe that
even Major General Pierre
00:56:54.110 --> 00:57:00.184
Ha Hidden. py air that
this with her principal.
00:57:00.185 --> 00:57:06.603
The Minister of police deed.
00:57:06.604 --> 00:57:13.878
You make a telephone call to the minister
reporting to him that Keiling\'s that
00:57:13.879 --> 00:57:16.429
had taken place at Marika on
00:57:16.430 --> 00:57:21.813
the 30th of August 2012 Do you
remember me asking you that question.
00:57:21.814 --> 00:57:26.269
You\'ve asked me a lot of questions
it could have been one of those is
00:57:26.270 --> 00:57:29.988
general this is a simple
question are you suggesting
00:57:29.989 --> 00:57:37.989
that you do not remember for effect you do
not remember me asking you that question I
00:57:39.365 --> 00:57:43.489
have had a number of questions from
you and that could have been one of
00:57:43.490 --> 00:57:50.209
those canes on such a large scale
00:57:50.210 --> 00:57:55.053
would that have been a matter
of concern to your minister.
00:57:55.054 --> 00:58:01.413
I said. Yes. If it was or would have been.
00:58:01.414 --> 00:58:04.008
What if anything.
00:58:04.009 --> 00:58:12.009
Did the minister Do I have already
given my response to this one so.
00:58:12.490 --> 00:58:16.878
Nearly the current leader
in Bendigo hub He gives us.
00:58:16.879 --> 00:58:21.799
Leadership in that space and
support I have failed maybe
00:58:21.800 --> 00:58:26.659
to answer in a minute that is appreciated.
00:58:26.660 --> 00:58:34.660
Maybe I\'m short of answering
your question 16 hexane must
00:58:35.509 --> 00:58:39.858
figure as he was fingers
Guan list then as long as
00:58:39.859 --> 00:58:44.733
the heap was a van is a drag
O\'bannons argue for a while.
00:58:44.734 --> 00:58:48.993
Figure Emma battle going apply
they tumbled out by MR2 shock.
00:58:48.994 --> 00:58:52.623
Intellectual abomasum but
I swear footie meningo
00:58:52.624 --> 00:58:58.039
by Mate morning it had become clear to
the miners that London had gone back
00:58:58.040 --> 00:58:59.538
on their commitment to talk to
00:58:59.539 --> 00:59:02.430
them And
00:59:02.620 --> 00:59:10.620
I still
00:59:33.280 --> 00:59:41.280
don\'t know about so we\'ll find out
00:59:45.910 --> 00:59:47.088
Well
00:59:47.089 --> 00:59:48.269
my
00:59:59.380 --> 01:00:00.978
God God
01:00:00.979 --> 01:00:08.979
all the way to my dog
01:00:28.930 --> 01:00:33.044
Furthermore postdocs
example of another add-on.
01:00:33.045 --> 01:00:37.769
Itself rather
01:00:48.390 --> 01:00:50.929
easily
01:01:13.420 --> 01:01:15.019
The question I
01:01:15.020 --> 01:01:21.678
ask you is this a decision that you say
you took to implement states three.
01:01:21.679 --> 01:01:29.463
Was that decision taken because there
had been an escalation. Was it taken.
01:01:29.464 --> 01:01:32.238
Even though there hadn\'t been an
escalation that\'s the question I
01:01:32.239 --> 01:01:35.599
wouldn\'t want to episode.
01:01:35.600 --> 01:01:40.759
I\'ll put a little paragraph
degree escalation but what
01:01:40.760 --> 01:01:45.829
I find so answer is the decision to
is to implement Stage three which
01:01:45.830 --> 01:01:50.298
you say you took and conveyed to
the provincial commission that was
01:01:50.299 --> 01:01:57.549
Rough because of explanation but the fact that
even though they wasn\'t his professional.
01:02:12.160 --> 01:02:20.160
Might already know
01:02:31.540 --> 01:02:37.019
So this is.
01:02:48.400 --> 01:02:56.400
Yeah free about it should be that
they\'re not in our free path
01:03:05.950 --> 01:03:12.699
there may have been I thought up yeah
01:03:18.330 --> 01:03:26.330
But what do I do and I
01:03:27.110 --> 01:03:32.254
said well I don\'t want to
01:03:32.255 --> 01:03:38.988
but there are all these are given to talk.
01:03:38.989 --> 01:03:45.630
Yet about the planet an icon
set then you have F omega j.
01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:49.714
Therefore Madonna.
01:03:49.715 --> 01:03:57.149
Isn\'t good has no memory
of my banana coconut
01:04:16.060 --> 01:04:21.634
I still remember vividly
the face of those workers.
01:04:21.635 --> 01:04:28.924
I still remember my weights I said
when colon m can be of ATV asked me.
01:04:28.925 --> 01:04:33.468
What now I said all this is in courts
01:04:33.469 --> 01:04:39.149
ends and mean mortal men those
are my waste. More time
01:04:56.380 --> 01:05:00.663
Immediately following Joseph who
turned to his passionate plea.
01:05:00.664 --> 01:05:05.969
Over a thousand miners decided to leave
the mountain and make their way home
01:05:29.410 --> 01:05:32.988
We have been in negotiations
with his gathering for
01:05:32.989 --> 01:05:38.974
quite a few days and part of that was that
simple can reach an epic Amoco solution
01:05:38.975 --> 01:05:41.598
for them to drop the weapons and
01:05:41.599 --> 01:05:46.474
disperse unfortunately it doesn\'t
seem as if negotiations have proven
01:05:46.475 --> 01:05:49.548
successful and these are
complete service is going to
01:05:49.549 --> 01:05:52.788
have to go over to the tactical
phase to ensure that we
01:05:52.789 --> 01:05:59.479
take weapons away from from those gathered
yet for that I need or the media.
01:05:59.480 --> 01:06:07.480
Beyond our vehicles There\'s still
a culture is why would go up by

01:07:52.609 --> 01:07:53.939
The other
01:08:06.100 --> 01:08:08.549
side
01:08:09.760 --> 01:08:17.760
Just like
01:08:33.370 --> 01:08:35.559
that
01:09:27.260 --> 01:09:28.598
I
01:09:28.599 --> 01:09:30.070
Agree
01:09:51.460 --> 01:09:53.760
Right
01:10:41.260 --> 01:10:47.448
Who independently Jong helium neon

in Canada falling enzyme land filling
01:11:04.120 --> 01:11:06.689
Bomba
01:11:38.740 --> 01:11:42.089
And eventually
01:12:02.670 --> 01:12:06.619
if I think of
01:12:06.620 --> 01:12:14.620
it as
01:12:16.720 --> 01:12:19.188
15 to 20 minutes
01:12:19.189 --> 01:12:23.793
after the initial shooting All
the commanders should have sit.
01:12:23.794 --> 01:12:28.564
What you\'ve shot How many people stand up
01:12:28.565 --> 01:12:35.520
stand up they went and carried on a
hunting down people for 20 minutes
01:13:06.760 --> 01:13:11.538
When I saw what the commission
and the police call s2.
01:13:11.539 --> 01:13:17.178
Which is the small copy is several 100 meters
away from the stuff we saw on television.
01:13:17.179 --> 01:13:21.420
It is clear that this was nothing
like what had happened at the fussy
01:14:01.030 --> 01:14:08.628
In Norway and say chi of a wild
west isobar isobar telecom
01:14:08.629 --> 01:14:13.728
but we know
01:14:13.729 --> 01:14:17.599
from the examination of
the scene pi friends and
01:14:17.600 --> 01:14:21.903
officers that for example
they found cartridges.
01:14:21.904 --> 01:14:24.619
On tops of the rocks we
knew that they found
01:14:24.620 --> 01:14:28.099
dead bodies at the bottom of the
rocks yeah Would conclude there is
01:14:28.100 --> 01:14:31.308
a strong possibility that officers stood
01:14:31.309 --> 01:14:34.638
and short people who were at the bottom
of the rock I mean you\'re talking
01:14:34.639 --> 01:14:36.349
you at distance of
01:14:36.350 --> 01:14:40.278
perhaps only 234 meters the police seem to
01:14:40.279 --> 01:14:44.239
stick to this self-defense story they kept
repeating the same thing even though it\'s
01:14:44.240 --> 01:14:46.579
blindingly obvious and yet dozens of
01:14:46.580 --> 01:14:49.699
witnesses saying talking about
people trying to surrender being
01:14:49.700 --> 01:14:53.659
killed repeatedly shocked as
they were trying to Syria and
01:14:53.660 --> 01:14:59.099
much as once coming up to three times
with their hands shot repeatedly
01:15:31.900 --> 01:15:39.448
I went in and had killed they
just accumulate and otherwise.
01:15:39.449 --> 01:15:47.449
None. Okay all right
01:15:50.560 --> 01:15:53.070
So yeah
01:15:54.280 --> 01:16:02.280
yeah yeah
01:16:10.710 --> 01:16:18.710
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah that\'s where gamma
01:16:43.050 --> 01:16:51.050
Vertical you can book it
doesn\'t really look good
01:16:52.960 --> 01:17:00.960
in some sense to put him
01:17:03.450 --> 01:17:08.109
to put people who
01:17:08.110 --> 01:17:16.110
need that So if whatever
01:17:26.870 --> 01:17:34.140
whatever. As likely
01:17:40.370 --> 01:17:47.310
to far this.
01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:53.080
Someone else
01:18:02.260 --> 01:18:07.458
Let us take note of the fact
01:18:07.459 --> 01:18:15.139
that whatever happened you represent
the best opera responsible policing.
01:18:15.140 --> 01:18:18.918
You did what you did because you are being
01:18:18.919 --> 01:18:25.009
responsible you are making sure
that you continue to live your
01:18:25.010 --> 01:18:33.010
own way of ensuring that South
Africans are safe and that you are
01:18:34.610 --> 01:18:38.239
a citizen of this country and safety stats
01:18:38.240 --> 01:18:45.813
weekly But who looked out for the
safety of our lowly paid miners.
01:18:45.814 --> 01:18:52.008
Surely it should have been those who work
so tirelessly for our struggle for freedom.
01:18:52.009 --> 01:18:59.029
Those you now hold the reins of
political power it is the time to
01:18:59.030 --> 01:19:02.598
point finger in the first place to point
01:19:02.599 --> 01:19:06.693
fingers at those whose
fingers pulled the trigger.
01:19:06.694 --> 01:19:10.624
But the foot soldiers.
01:19:10.625 --> 01:19:14.688
What about those who pulled the strings.
01:19:14.689 --> 01:19:19.759
Who gave the orders and
who are they tell me who
01:19:19.760 --> 01:19:24.858
are the Minister of police The President.
01:19:24.859 --> 01:19:28.759
The. He\'s got the answer this is
01:19:28.760 --> 01:19:32.838
what we want to see from a commission
and the President and the Ministers
01:19:32.839 --> 01:19:36.259
in a security cluster I\'ve
been there and know how it
01:19:36.260 --> 01:19:41.299
works and if the police carried
out without that kind of
01:19:41.300 --> 01:19:45.949
instruction then what are they guilty of in
01:19:45.950 --> 01:19:51.198
terms of the way they dealt with
that situation you see heads need to
01:19:51.199 --> 01:19:54.888
role at a very high level
and we don\'t want to
01:19:54.889 --> 01:20:00.799
see a commission of inquiry
that white washes things that
01:20:00.800 --> 01:20:07.909
keeps the lid on In the end we\'ll apportion
blame to the strike is to the Union
01:20:07.910 --> 01:20:12.349
splits to the mine owners and so on what
01:20:12.350 --> 01:20:17.999
about the politicians who
are the ones responsible
01:20:47.390 --> 01:20:51.369
And you\'ve got.
01:20:59.920 --> 01:21:02.210
You\'ve got to
01:21:23.740 --> 01:21:24.909
do
01:21:24.910 --> 01:21:28.859
