I am appalled with the blame game played by all about Marikana, when dozens of bodies lie in the mortuary and families grieve for lost breadwinners.
There is no "holy cow" in this massacre. Our people have a right to demonstrate, picket or march but they must do so lawfully. The police must also act within the law. We must reverse all attempts to create a police state.
[Marikana] is a legacy of President Jacob Zuma. For how long will he defend Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa and his flops? Mthethwa and Mineral Resources Minister Susan Shabangu must go.
