So long after the recommendations of the Farlam Commission, there are few answers and even less accountability from a government, police force and mining company. We travel from the Eastern Cape to Marikana to speak to those whose losses have only compounded since, and question what the lack of accountability around the impact of this historical event means.

U.S. Folk-Rock Legend Sugar Man, a Star in South Africa, DiesSixto Rodriguez, the legendary singer-songwriter has died at the age of 81. He passed away on August 8, 2023, after suffering a stroke. Rodriguez began his music career in the 1960s, but his albums went unnoticed in the United States. However, he achieved legendary folk-rock super stardom status in South Africa, where mistaken rumours circulated that he had died. According to the BBC, Rodriguez was unaware of his popularity abroad, which partly stemmed from bootlegged copies of his album Cold Fact circulating in South Africa, where it had been adopted as an unofficial soundtrack to youth protests against apartheid. In the late 1990s, two South African fans, Stephen 'Sugar' Segerman and Craig Bartholomew Strydom, tracked him down and brought him to South Africa, where he was greeted as a hero. He went on to tour South Africa and other countries, and his music gained a new audience around the world. Rodriguez's life story was told in the 2012 documentary "Searching for Sugar Man," which was a hit at the Sundance Film Festival and won the Oscar for Best Documentary the following year.
