Scores of mineworkers are expected to gather at the infamous Marikana Koppie near Rustenburg in the North West to commemorate the killing of 34 mineworkers in 2012.
Their deaths followed a protracted strike by mineworkers demanding better wages and living conditions.In the days preceding the killing of 34 mineworkers by police, at least 10 people were killed including security guards, mineworkers and police officials.
The institute, which represents widows and families of the mine workers, says the NPA does not take the plight of the families seriously and that it is shocking that the NPA has not decided to bring any legal action, despite having received dockets from the Independent Police Investigative Directorate some time ago.
