The response by unions to the deaths of protesting miners at the Lonmin Mine in North West is interesting ("Police die in mine war", yesterday).

Save & Share

We are accustomed to reports of deaths on mines being attributed to negligence and supposed disregard for black lives by white mine bosses, not warring factions of some or other union.

Why is there no outcry now that people are being bludgeoned to death outside those mines?
