WATCH: Keep politics out of sport, says UDM leader Holomisa
Marikana - Sport must be depoliticised, United Democratic Movement leader Bantu Holomisa said on Sunday.
He was conducting a door-to-door campaign to charm voters ahead of the May 8 general election and also to donate kit for soccer and netball teams participating in a local sports tournament, the finals of which would be on April 13 and 14. The infamous Marikana koppie [hill] in Nkaneng is where 34 people, mostly mineworkers, were shot dead by police on August 16, 2012 during a violent wildcat strike by workers at Lonmin's platinum mine. Ten other people, including two police officers and two Lonmin security guards, were killed in the unrest during the preceding week.
