In August 2012, mine workers in one of South Africa's biggest platinum mines began a wildcat strike for better wages. Six days into the strike, the police used live ammunition to brutally suppress it, killing 34 and injuring many more. The police insisted that they shot in self-defense. MINERS SHOT DOWN tells a different story, one that unfolds in real time over seven days, like a ticking time bomb.
The film weaves together the central point of view of three strike leaders, Mambush, Tholakele and Mzoxolo, with compelling police footage, TV archive and interviews with lawyers representing the miners in the ensuing commission of inquiry into the massacre. What emerges is a tragedy that arises out of the deep fault lines in South Africa's nascent democracy, of enduring poverty and a 20-year-old, unfulfilled promise of a better life for all.
A campaigning film, beautifully shot, sensitively told and accompanied by a haunting soundtrack, MINERS SHOT DOWN reveals how far the African National Congress has strayed from its progressive liberationist roots.
"MINERS SHOT DOWN will come to be seen as one of the most important physical remembrances, not only of the lives of the men who were killed, but also of a shameful and cowardly chapter of our recent history." -The Daily Maverick
"An unflinching account of the 2012 massacre of 38 South African miners in the town of Marikana." -Variety
"While telling a specific story, MINERS SHOT DOWN… delivers a powerful indictment, holding South African President Jacob Zuma and his government responsible for the so-called Marikana Massacre. Recommended!"—Video Librarian

 00:00:14.810 --> 00:00:18.439
 Our journey just to call
 
 00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:26.440
 out Well you didn\'t follow the instruction we
 did anybody should go as impulsive or tool
 
 00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:28.980
 It\'s the 16th of August 2012 outside the
 London platinum mine America in South Africa
 
 00:01:29.554 --> 00:01:37.554
 a 112 striking miners are shot down by police
 34 die like many other South Africans.
 
 00:01:38.915 --> 00:01:46.915
 The shooting shook me
 to the core Events like
 
 00:01:48.889 --> 00:01:52.908
 this took me back to the massacres
 of apartheid sharp filled
 
 00:01:52.909 --> 00:02:00.909
 1960 sweater 1976 killings like
 these led South Africans to support
 
 00:02:01.850 --> 00:02:04.188
 Nelson Mandela and the struggle for
 
 00:02:04.189 --> 00:02:11.569
 freedom but today these miners are being
 shot at by a new government to ensure that
 
 00:02:11.570 --> 00:02:16.879
 it\'s business as usual we could
 see that lives were now being
 
 00:02:16.880 --> 00:02:24.569
 sacrificed for money and the young democracy
 we had so much hope for was under threat
 
 00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:36.918
 This is not a day.
 
 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:44.919
 Talk pushing play it is a day for us
 to mourn together as a nation it is
 
 00:02:47.300 --> 00:02:55.300
 also a day to start rebuilding and
 healing the zaps the only nice to
 
 00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:04.840
 advance a situation such as police members had
 to employ force to protect themselves from
 
 00:03:06.830 --> 00:03:14.610
 the charging port Is
 there time for time for
 
 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.744
 the sin and death moment we\'ll
 
 00:03:21.745 --> 00:03:28.128
 CDN2 the Americana commission
 
 00:03:28.129 --> 00:03:34.803
 of inquiry has set for over a year South
 Africans watch in a state of shock.
 
 00:03:34.804 --> 00:03:37.803
 Half the police being
 honest in their account.
 
 00:03:37.804 --> 00:03:42.438
 No they have not the big question remains.
 
 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.638
 Who sanctioned deobda to use
 live ammunition against
 
 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:54.639
 the strikers My name is
 Tony inside in February.
 
 00:03:59.410 --> 00:04:05.584
 Clear for the following families.
 
 00:04:05.585 --> 00:04:09.570
 I mean no king.
 
 00:04:10.630 --> 00:04:18.630
 Among them into Formula I will remodel
 
 00:04:18.914 --> 00:04:26.914
 peddling Jackson who fight.
 
 00:04:28.655 --> 00:04:34.039
 Same root. Show kindness.
 
 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:42.040
 They reach a sub paying for the ceiling the
 
 00:04:44.770 --> 00:04:52.770
 Parliament and the need for
 us to add to this port
 
 00:04:54.475 --> 00:05:00.149
 it my whole life So
 
 00:05:04.210 --> 00:05:12.210
 you just say Bob bought a little law for
 
 00:05:13.910 --> 00:05:15.359
 this
 
 00:05:36.990 --> 00:05:39.289

 allegedly illegal governing
 by rock drum operators.
 
 00:05:48.965 --> 00:05:51.379
 It six days before the massacre.
 
 00:05:51.380 --> 00:05:56.148
 The mining company London is filming
 the miners as I gathered outside
 
 00:05:56.149 --> 00:06:01.548
 the mind alone means security guard

 A crowd of rock jewelers meet a march to

 the Longman Management Office they
 believe the official majority unions
 
 00:06:38.494 --> 00:06:41.899
 the National Union of Mineworkers
 are in the pockets of
 
 00:06:41.900 --> 00:06:45.739
 management and so they\'ve
 decided to take matters into
 
 00:06:45.740 --> 00:06:53.643
 their own hands they are joined by workers
 from a competing Union Scotland and England.

 00:09:05.650 --> 00:09:13.650
 They got for normal concretes although
 I thought I would say that most of
 
 00:09:16.579 --> 00:09:22.398
 us do not modify that up 400 chain of
 
 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:30.399
 command then I know when I find a plateau.
 
 00:09:30.874 --> 00:09:33.708
 But does metadata and of

 everybody ends up buffoon
 
 00:10:18.110 --> 00:10:22.008
 moment here this is called the Ahmadiyya

 00:10:22.009 --> 00:10:26.239
 another 90 part and when
 Yana and the petiole Jack
 
 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:34.240
 app The average take-home
 pay of rock drillers is
 
 00:10:34.489 --> 00:10:42.489
 5 thousand South African wrong the equivalent
 of 500 Euros dollars this condemns
 
 00:10:42.830 --> 00:10:45.179
 them to poverty that he say
 
 00:10:45.280 --> 00:10:48.019
 mining companies like Longmen view
 
 00:10:48.020 --> 00:10:51.319
 higher wages as the biggest
 threat to the continued health of
 
 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:59.320
 the business Longmen is a British company
 
 00:11:01.355 --> 00:11:07.024
 which started drilling for platinum in
 South Africa 30 years ago it employs
 
 00:11:07.025 --> 00:11:10.098
 28 thousand people exporting
 
 00:11:10.099 --> 00:11:15.690
 the world\'s most precious metal out
 of the country And around the globe.
 
 00:11:15.730 --> 00:11:22.458
 The company has spent large sums of money
 on a massive program of expansion.
 
 00:11:22.459 --> 00:11:25.488
 Leaving it financially vulnerable.
 
 00:11:25.489 --> 00:11:30.109
 The prospect of a long strike
 was the last thing they wanted.
 
 00:11:30.110 --> 00:11:37.984
 We experienced a group of workers
 who studied matching from
 
 00:11:37.985 --> 00:11:41.748
 the Warner Pop area to us
 displays which we call
 
 00:11:41.749 --> 00:11:46.894
 LPD These are the people who defined
 mining if they don\'t drill.
 
 00:11:46.895 --> 00:11:51.109
 There\'s no mining. So if they are
 not that web it becomes obvious.
 
 00:11:51.110 --> 00:11:55.369
 They matched until the four-way
 junction which is a profitability year
 
 00:11:55.370 --> 00:12:00.768
 And at that point obviously that\'s
 when the security engaged them and at
 
 00:12:00.769 --> 00:12:03.859
 no point did this group of employees
 
 00:12:03.860 --> 00:12:08.734
 demonstrate they had anything to
 present a couple of months previously
 
 00:12:08.735 --> 00:12:10.158
 London admit directly with
 
 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:14.868
 that same struck committee to discuss the
 grievances yet now they wouldn\'t talk to them
 
 00:12:14.869 --> 00:12:16.679
 why
 
 00:12:24.610 --> 00:12:25.758
 the
 
 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.383
 story of the Americana massacre.
 
 00:12:28.384 --> 00:12:30.273
 Would be incomplete.
 
 00:12:30.274 --> 00:12:33.048
 Without a close look at the involvement of
 
 00:12:33.049 --> 00:12:40.039
 civil ram opposer I had watched him with
 admiration He built the largest trade union
 
 00:12:40.040 --> 00:12:41.719
 the country had ever seen
 
 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.888
 the National Union of
 Mineworkers under serums
 
 00:12:45.889 --> 00:12:50.193
 leadership Nome Saw the miners
 join the fight against apartheid.
 
 00:12:50.194 --> 00:12:55.920
 And I took my place marching
 side-by-side behind their banner.
 
 00:12:56.290 --> 00:12:58.939
 It must be remembered that it was
 
 00:12:58.940 --> 00:13:04.533
 the mining industry and specifically
 the Chamber of mine which pioneered
 
 00:13:04.534 --> 00:13:07.504
 the most oppressive features of
 
 00:13:07.505 --> 00:13:08.659
 apartheid South
 
 00:13:08.660 --> 00:13:10.230
 Africa
 
 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.708
 Mine workers
 
 00:13:21.709 --> 00:13:25.789
 have always had to put up with harsh
 living and working conditions.
 
 00:13:25.790 --> 00:13:29.344
 So Rama posa was determined to change this.
 
 00:13:29.345 --> 00:13:32.538
 Under his leadership workers were led into
 
 00:13:32.539 --> 00:13:36.454
 mass strikes and direct confrontation
 with the white mine owners.
 
 00:13:36.455 --> 00:13:40.878
 He was for me a vital and
 important person in the birth of
 
 00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:47.539
 the new South Africa there\'s no such thing
 as a liberal bourgeois they\'re all the same.
 
 00:13:47.540 --> 00:13:51.859
 They use fascist levels to destroy workers
 
 00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:59.029
 lives He soon became
 
 00:13:59.030 --> 00:14:02.689
 a leading member of the African
 National Congress and from
 
 00:14:02.690 --> 00:14:07.399
 this position joined the Black
 economic elite ram opposed.
 
 00:14:07.400 --> 00:14:12.783
 Who once or South Africa\'s working class
 as a force to bringing about change.
 
 00:14:12.784 --> 00:14:18.784
 Now found himself on the other side of
 the table at the time as the massacre.
 
 00:14:18.785 --> 00:14:21.133
 He was a board member of long mainland.
 
 00:14:21.134 --> 00:14:25.819
 We\'ve gone through our waves of
 starts and we always have strikes.
 
 00:14:25.820 --> 00:14:31.398
 Because we have such a robust
 democratic system that allows
 
 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:38.013
 workers to express themselves and
 people should never be alarmed.
 
 00:14:38.014 --> 00:14:42.428
 This is the South African
 way And we need to accept
 
 00:14:42.429 --> 00:14:48.369
 that workers will voice
 their dissatisfaction.
 
 00:14:48.370 --> 00:14:52.253
 Through withdrawing their labour.
 
 00:14:52.254 --> 00:14:55.508
 What we are against is that.
 
 00:14:55.509 --> 00:14:58.899
 Quite a number of those strikes
 have tended to ten violent.
 
 00:14:58.900 --> 00:15:05.960
 That is one behavior pattern that
 we need to get out of our system
 
 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:28.129
 Ironically the National Union of
 Mineworkers num the powerful union which
 
 00:15:28.130 --> 00:15:33.694
 saw Arama pose a one-slide was still
 the majority Union inside their minds.
 
 00:15:33.695 --> 00:15:37.818
 But in the lead up to the long range
 strike gnome head refuse to address
 
 00:15:37.819 --> 00:15:42.169
 the low wages of their members and
 when London management talked to
 
 00:15:42.170 --> 00:15:44.808
 workers that they would only negotiate says
 
 00:15:44.809 --> 00:15:49.699
 the majority union the workers
 decided to go back to nums office
 
 00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:54.739
 about three pairs on to workers strike
 has marched down to the mem offers
 
 00:15:54.740 --> 00:15:57.408
 the people who are in the new
 officers and there are probably
 
 00:15:57.409 --> 00:16:00.513
 about 30 Branch officials and shops years.
 
 00:16:00.514 --> 00:16:03.168
 They\'d been advised by the
 London security that the march
 
 00:16:03.169 --> 00:16:05.959
 was solids way and if they didn\'t want
 to meet them arch And they should
 
 00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:10.098

 that he would hand her weapons to each of

 the 30 people who were there and they
 handle their pingers and spears.
 
 00:16:47.239 --> 00:16:49.639

 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.189
 the sabia band and I move gear hazamah.
 
 00:18:11.190 --> 00:18:13.908
 Awesome. Now I\'ve got an amateur
 
 00:18:13.909 --> 00:18:21.909
 toggling the National Union of Mineworkers
 
 00:18:22.865 --> 00:18:28.653
 denies any of their members attack workers
 and insist that they branch leadership.
 
 00:18:28.654 --> 00:18:31.114
 We\'re acting in self-defense.
 
 00:18:31.115 --> 00:18:36.604
 None would not encouraged
 in is sort of that
 
 00:18:36.605 --> 00:18:41.598
 Patnam watch Understand if
 it\'s people believed that they
 
 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.049
 are under threat to their lives
 and our office and outlet
 
 00:18:45.050 --> 00:18:49.219
 that did they we\'ll add this pop off the
 moment disabled taiga standards have
 
 00:18:49.220 --> 00:18:52.459
 said that as an Ngram would
 believe that those people
 
 00:18:52.460 --> 00:18:55.729
 in that circumstances found
 themselves and we\'ll end
 
 00:18:55.730 --> 00:18:59.844
 with one condemn what they did
 in many respects that was
 
 00:18:59.845 --> 00:19:05.194
 a complete turning point because
 up until that point That beam.
 
 00:19:05.195 --> 00:19:08.313
 Very little violence I\'m not
 saying there wasn\'t any violence.
 
 00:19:08.314 --> 00:19:11.029
 People said was a bit of intimidation
 I really don\'t know about
 
 00:19:11.030 --> 00:19:14.084
 it but no one was being killed.
 
 00:19:14.085 --> 00:19:17.673
 So my leg the leg Knowsalot spill
 that Divina food in the side.
 
 00:19:17.674 --> 00:19:21.574
 Hit a grounding pill.
 
 00:19:21.575 --> 00:19:24.049
 So a planning Dawn.
 
 00:19:24.050 --> 00:19:27.288
 Is bad Georgia Linda and
 pillars now palisade
 
 00:19:27.289 --> 00:19:31.698
 Tom silicone Masada and dab
 it in jabayo and I got
 
 00:19:31.699 --> 00:19:39.699
 these giga gnomon mom
 banned 11 to further draw.
 
 00:19:40.025 --> 00:19:42.604
 Every time the miners gather
 
 00:19:42.605 --> 00:19:48.274
 the Longmen security guard keeps a
 keen eye on them After the shootings.
 
 00:19:48.275 --> 00:19:56.275
 Of two people allegedly from Korea area
 such ICN is fairly comma this state
 
 00:19:58.505 --> 00:20:02.959
 no direct greatest
 maturity as a reaction to
 
 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:08.179
 numb shooting at their own members the
 conflict grows Longmen rock tutors from
 
 00:20:08.180 --> 00:20:12.858
 the nearby carry shaft join the
 strike in numbers they belong
 
 00:20:12.859 --> 00:20:17.883
 to the competing union the association
 of construction and mine workers union.
 
 00:20:17.884 --> 00:20:19.529
 I\'m 6\'2
 
 00:20:27.580 --> 00:20:29.823
 I\'m cuz leader
 
 00:20:29.824 --> 00:20:34.969
 Joseph more tundra like grammar posa
 20 years before him is fighting
 
 00:20:34.970 --> 00:20:40.879
 the system and believes num has become far
 too close to mine management and government.
 
 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:46.980
 He soon becomes an important player
 in the unfolding events at maricon
 
 00:20:49.900 --> 00:20:53.404
 What you\'ve got is liberates
 
 00:20:53.405 --> 00:20:58.548
 the only thing that we\'d better feedback
 is to change it Administration which was
 
 00:20:58.549 --> 00:21:03.064
 run by the White cannot then
 is our trend h. Now what did
 
 00:21:03.065 --> 00:21:10.349
 Moses Bono who just says really taught
 I will almost seem values is given
 
 00:21:33.790 --> 00:21:40.218
 Run the 12th they decide that
 they\'re going to go back to the
 
 00:21:40.219 --> 00:21:46.654
 amorphous is this time I think that there
 are inferior and they take their own.
 
 00:21:46.655 --> 00:21:52.879
 Course of action and they all
 stopped rarely by London.
 
 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.539
 Security guards and not much is known of
 
 00:21:56.540 --> 00:22:01.069
 what happened on that day I
 mean there is a suggestion that
 
 00:22:01.070 --> 00:22:05.269
 these guards who have to say or poorly
 
 00:22:05.270 --> 00:22:10.878
 paid ordinary black working class
 people who were sent out to confront.
 
 00:22:10.879 --> 00:22:15.163
 On behalf all this multinational
 firm of exploiters
 
 00:22:15.164 --> 00:22:21.468
 The the demonstration that\'s coming
 to them but whatever happened
 
 00:22:21.469 --> 00:22:28.728
 to girls were killed and one of
 them in particular was bound to
 
 00:22:28.729 --> 00:22:30.270
 a cinder
 
 00:23:00.660 --> 00:23:02.319
 Cyril ram
 
 00:23:02.320 --> 00:23:04.373
 oppose it was close to Nelson Mandela.
 
 00:23:04.374 --> 00:23:07.463
 We thought he was succeeded
 Mandela presidency.
 
 00:23:07.464 --> 00:23:09.009
 After the massacre.
 
 00:23:09.010 --> 00:23:14.709
 I was hoping to have an honest discussion
 about what really took place in America but
 
 00:23:14.710 --> 00:23:17.348
 he quickly made it clear
 that he would speak only in
 
 00:23:17.349 --> 00:23:20.813
 January terms until appearing
 before the Commission.
 
 00:23:20.814 --> 00:23:26.858
 We were the first country
 to have a wave of strikes.
 
 00:23:26.859 --> 00:23:29.153
 Let\'s just get that clear.
 
 00:23:29.154 --> 00:23:37.044
 Many countries both middle-income countries
 low income countries and high income
 
 00:23:37.045 --> 00:23:39.518
 countries have been through waves of
 
 00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:45.899
 strife And many of those strikes in some
 countries have even toppled governments.
 
 00:24:00.570 --> 00:24:05.254
 You\'d. It wasn\'t as if the
 16th was a day are slated
 
 00:24:05.255 --> 00:24:09.814
 from context you have to look back
 to the Monday before that Thursday.
 
 00:24:09.815 --> 00:24:13.144
 When a group of a 150 to 200 miners
 
 00:24:13.145 --> 00:24:17.659
 went from that copy to Korea
 three mind with the herd.
 
 00:24:17.660 --> 00:24:20.808
 There were still some miners working
 in they want to tell them to
 
 00:24:20.809 --> 00:24:23.928
 down tools Intimidation solidarity you can
 
 00:24:23.929 --> 00:24:26.974
 call it what you want
 there were turned back
 
 00:24:26.975 --> 00:24:30.628
 by the security to the mind we
 told them go back with that treat.
 
 00:24:30.629 --> 00:24:36.318
 There went back with that Truett
 halfway back to that copy.
 
 00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:38.538
 They were met by a cordon of
 
 00:24:38.539 --> 00:24:45.318
 police and usually led
 
 00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:49.559
 by the Deputy Commissioner for
 the Northwest general impending
 
 00:25:04.260 --> 00:25:09.119
 He says Is into Nr is paired to Azi yet
 
 00:25:09.120 --> 00:25:16.884
 doing my yeah yeah yeah pneumonia.
 
 00:25:16.885 --> 00:25:19.160
 I mean you guys are looses.
 
 00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:28.640
 Then allowed us right now how can
 
 00:25:31.570 --> 00:25:35.868
 I do that I don\'t like that and
 
 00:25:35.869 --> 00:25:43.869
 I\'m not gonna do that
 
 00:26:06.410 --> 00:26:13.638
 But as important.
 
 00:26:13.639 --> 00:26:21.639
 Can you then begin to
 understand the standpoint of
 
 00:26:23.140 --> 00:26:28.239
 those employees they say by
 the way we have no issue with
 
 00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:34.264
 you as the police Now
 that\'s very fundamental.
 
 00:26:34.265 --> 00:26:39.918
 Is like the one to remind
 everybody including the police
 
 00:26:39.919 --> 00:26:47.919
 that in a democracy where cosmic
 negotiate with the employers.
 
 00:26:48.035 --> 00:26:56.035
 The police should not be this shield between
 employees rights and employers applications
 
 00:27:05.560 --> 00:27:09.689
 or one that\'s not right
 
 00:27:11.470 --> 00:27:19.279
 The very interesting part about it is when
 the negotiations between Jeran timber.
 
 00:27:19.280 --> 00:27:21.559
 In some other way can lead us.
 
 00:27:21.560 --> 00:27:23.748
 Including funny nope.
 
 00:27:23.749 --> 00:27:26.659
 The so-called man in the clinic blanket.
 
 00:27:26.660 --> 00:27:33.108
 Members. Now when it is clear that the
 employees have put their position.
 
 00:27:33.109 --> 00:27:36.484
 Look. Few oriented disarmament.
 That\'s okay.
 
 00:27:36.485 --> 00:27:41.219
 But you need to as caught us
 for a year to the mountain
 
 00:27:57.370 --> 00:28:05.370
 And Chandra and pamby
 reaches a stage where it
 
 00:28:08.329 --> 00:28:10.729
 says Now let me get to state i you
 
 00:28:10.730 --> 00:28:14.869
 saying if we escort to to the mountain
 when you get there you\'ll end
 
 00:28:14.870 --> 00:28:21.559
 over the weapons to us and they
 say yes and at that point he gets
 
 00:28:21.560 --> 00:28:29.560
 a telephone cord but he said in
 effect when one looks at that clip.
 
 00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:37.599
 These attitude isn\'t radical before and
 after that phone call Hi I\'m dose.
 
 00:28:39.535 --> 00:28:47.535
 We afford now in conto we are again
 Diane demand myrtle that Tony in
 
 00:28:49.550 --> 00:28:55.388
 Canto Yeah
 
 00:28:55.389 --> 00:29:02.099
 I think I think
 
 00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:25.200
 they go into their soul and
 they just get up and go
 
 00:29:43.450 --> 00:29:46.114
 And again to either credit.
 
 00:29:46.115 --> 00:29:50.479
 At that point gentle
 impairment doesn\'t say should
 
 00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:58.480
 this baggers here allows them pay much
 in the simply provide a quarter note
 
 00:30:18.220 --> 00:30:23.838
 This group of miners or walking
 slowly and deliberately.
 
 00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:28.920
 From the video footage you see that
 don\'t seem to pose any threat.
 
 00:30:31.330 --> 00:30:36.574
 Suddenly you see tear gas being fired
 Berlin wireless I\'m shots fired.
 
 00:30:36.575 --> 00:30:41.374
 They get ignored that just keep
 going and there\'s a line of police
 
 00:30:41.375 --> 00:30:47.549
 jogging alongside them on the one side
 this armored vehicles keeps going.
 
 00:30:52.930 --> 00:30:59.280
 Another body of shots and
 tear gas Cricket break.
 
 00:31:00.490 --> 00:31:03.619
 So this is a PBS.
 
 00:31:03.620 --> 00:31:09.763
 Learning to run less than the
 agreement from what we see
 
 00:31:09.764 --> 00:31:12.949
 the peoples that are running around
 
 00:31:12.950 --> 00:31:18.138
 after the stamp lemmings here had been
 thrown in exploded it\'s only then
 
 00:31:18.139 --> 00:31:23.284
 that people start running around
 connectedness and none of the commanders.
 
 00:31:23.285 --> 00:31:25.158
 At admit to having given
 
 00:31:25.159 --> 00:31:29.508
 instruction in fact somebody who
 told us alleged that you are given
 
 00:31:29.509 --> 00:31:32.898
 the instruction and you are
 quite emphatic that was not
 
 00:31:32.899 --> 00:31:37.864
 true but none of the commanders gave
 the order Coons instructions to
 
 00:31:37.865 --> 00:31:41.559
 the information that you have
 So I don\'t think he\'s really
 
 00:31:41.560 --> 00:31:45.968
 puzzling and in that chaos three minus are
 
 00:31:45.969 --> 00:31:49.493
 killed one of whom seems to have been
 
 00:31:49.494 --> 00:31:55.129
 stabbed to death and it\'s unclear who
 caused their death in what circumstances.
 
 00:31:57.870 --> 00:32:02.510
 Also two cops get quota and get killed
 
 00:32:22.930 --> 00:32:27.618
 To strike us were not killed at the
 scene to strikers were killed.
 
 00:32:27.619 --> 00:32:32.598
 Perhaps 300 meters another
 800 meters from that scene.
 
 00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:38.178
 My interpretation is that these
 two strikers were fleeing
 
 00:32:38.179 --> 00:32:43.924
 and running away from the scene and
 were pursued by police officers.
 
 00:32:43.925 --> 00:32:47.928
 One in particular I believe
 that when he was perhaps
 
 00:32:47.929 --> 00:32:51.829
 800 meters away from the scene
 and was running through a river
 
 00:32:51.830 --> 00:32:55.429
 and up the bank on the other
 side I believe he was
 
 00:32:55.430 --> 00:32:59.658
 targeted by a police
 officer and was shot and
 
 00:32:59.659 --> 00:33:03.169
 I described that as being an execution
 people took cell phone pictures of
 
 00:33:03.170 --> 00:33:08.028
 the The Police and the circulated
 through all police circles.
 
 00:33:08.029 --> 00:33:12.994
 Every single province got these
 police to policemen had been killed.
 
 00:33:12.995 --> 00:33:16.579
 Now to be realistic we know that cops have
 
 00:33:16.580 --> 00:33:19.608
 a kind of iron clad drill you
 
 00:33:19.609 --> 00:33:23.448
 take us out we\'re going to take you out you
 didn\'t get away with killing policemen.
 
 00:33:23.449 --> 00:33:27.570
 That\'s police forces
 across the world actually
 
 00:33:56.740 --> 00:34:00.109
 It\'s two days before the massacre.
 
 00:34:00.110 --> 00:34:04.429
 Already a total of nine
 people have been killed with
 
 00:34:04.430 --> 00:34:09.139
 the latest and num official
 being marked by a cow\'s skull.
 
 00:34:09.140 --> 00:34:14.658
 The sign of a traitor conflict
 between the strikers and gnome goes
 
 00:34:14.659 --> 00:34:20.269
 from bad to worse it what it does
 more as to what is the motif.
 
 00:34:20.270 --> 00:34:24.528
 Because no organization worth
 its salt can embark on on on
 
 00:34:24.529 --> 00:34:28.769
 on on this barbaric way of raising
 issues And we believe that the partners
 
 00:34:28.770 --> 00:34:36.049
 know that NUM will never be involved in
 this kind of barbaric way of dealing with
 
 00:34:36.050 --> 00:34:39.708
 users non-man begins its
 campaign of pinning
 
 00:34:39.709 --> 00:34:43.849
 responsibility for the violence
 on the striking miners.
 
 00:34:43.850 --> 00:34:45.438
 We didn\'t.
 
 00:34:45.439 --> 00:34:49.698
 Not anticipate this type of
 violence and I don\'t think
 
 00:34:49.699 --> 00:34:51.919
 any organization in this country could have
 
 00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:55.770
 anticipated this type of violence
 because it\'s not normal.
 
 00:34:56.500 --> 00:35:01.218
 So that\'s why we looking and searching
 and using the police particularly the
 
 00:35:01.219 --> 00:35:06.569
 crime intelligence to understand
 the root cause of the situation
 
 00:35:31.600 --> 00:35:37.204
 Running casseroles joined the fight
 against apartheid in the 19 sixties.
 
 00:35:37.205 --> 00:35:39.679
 Following this short film massacre.
 
 00:35:39.680 --> 00:35:44.704
 He sat on the National Executive
 Committee of the ANC for 20 years
 
 00:35:44.705 --> 00:35:50.074
 and was considered by the white minority regime
 as one of their most dangerous opponents.
 
 00:35:50.075 --> 00:35:55.863
 Why the use Police force
 onto the teeth against
 
 00:35:55.864 --> 00:36:02.629
 2-3 thousand miners who were not
 occupying mining property or territory.
 
 00:36:02.630 --> 00:36:06.274
 Were not occupying any
 strategic point we\'re not
 
 00:36:06.275 --> 00:36:10.639
 blocking the national
 highway or any minor road.
 
 00:36:10.640 --> 00:36:15.424
 They were seated at a distance from
 
 00:36:15.425 --> 00:36:20.913
 any any key point to I please
 visibility and presence law remained.
 
 00:36:20.914 --> 00:36:26.460
 Until the situation is completely
 stable and currently we are seeing.
 
 00:36:27.490 --> 00:36:34.879
 Mind work as part of our
 phased approach In terms
 
 00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:37.238
 of discussing and negotiating with
 
 00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:42.389
 the protesters and that\'s the process
 that you\'re busy with after statuary.
 
 00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:04.999
 I\'m not at all sure why they brought
 in a hostage negotiator to try and
 
 00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:09.709
 negotiate with 3 thousand
 strike as it does seem Bizarre.
 
 00:37:09.710 --> 00:37:14.568
 Particularly as the strike is who always
 said We want to negotiate but we want to
 
 00:37:14.569 --> 00:37:20.370
 negotiate with management kinda.
 
 00:37:22.370 --> 00:37:29.253
 Yeah Communist gardener but
 don\'t tell them please.
 
 00:37:29.254 --> 00:37:33.048
 Any weapons weapons.
 
 00:37:33.049 --> 00:37:38.238
 It\'s not for us and nothing
 would happen to them they
 
 00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:43.714
 National Police Commissioner ported
 Longman to produce photographs
 
 00:37:43.715 --> 00:37:48.168
 of the demonstrators she
 then ordered London to
 
 00:37:48.169 --> 00:37:53.348
 identify the ring leaders
 I need to indicate that
 
 00:37:53.349 --> 00:38:00.323
 a management styles and
 
 00:38:00.324 --> 00:38:05.753
 also continue to assist me to
 identify them from their fortunes.
 
 00:38:05.754 --> 00:38:10.853
 But what is clear is not the person
 that they\'re would\'ve identified.
 
 00:38:10.854 --> 00:38:14.424
 Because he was the main
 negotiator is Mr. loci.
 
 00:38:14.425 --> 00:38:16.374
 The man in the green blanket.
 
 00:38:16.375 --> 00:38:22.519
 What we know about Muslim Inaki is that
 he has 14 bullet holes in him he is dead
 
 00:38:36.580 --> 00:38:42.619
 Then I will stop at the stop stopping for
 
 00:38:42.620 --> 00:38:48.858
 leaders is asking is asking can you
 turn the motor off so we can talk.
 
 00:38:48.859 --> 00:38:55.789
 Related to weight cannot to
 be heard over the noise of
 
 00:38:55.790 --> 00:38:59.149
 the running engine strike
 lead a man boast climbs onto
 
 00:38:59.150 --> 00:39:03.780
 the armored vehicle to talk to
 the police hostage negotiation.
 
 00:39:04.510 --> 00:39:08.220
 Thank him. Thank him
 
 00:39:10.270 --> 00:39:18.270
 quite a lot And I\'m going to
 
 00:39:27.340 --> 00:39:35.340
 talk about what happened at
 
 00:39:38.260 --> 00:39:46.260
 the same time and I went I went
 up and going and minus does not
 
 00:39:48.425 --> 00:39:53.250
 produce having studied
 whether this particular
 
 00:39:54.360 --> 00:40:00.588
 result But Longmen continued to
 
 00:40:00.589 --> 00:40:03.469
 refuse to meet the strikers what
 
 00:40:03.470 --> 00:40:06.919
 happened next was only discovered
 a year into the commission.
 
 00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:11.238
 When the police were ordered to
 hand over files that they had
 
 00:40:11.239 --> 00:40:17.988
 hidden it is a transcript of a conversation
 that took place two days before the massacre.
 
 00:40:17.989 --> 00:40:22.759
 Between an executive of Longmen and the
 provincial Commissioner of Police.
 
 00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:29.013
 It reveals the state and Longmen putting their
 heads together on how to break the strike.
 
 00:40:29.014 --> 00:40:35.388
 Before it spread to other minds we need to act
 such that we kill this thing immediately.
 
 00:40:35.389 --> 00:40:38.749
 Yes Tomorrow we have to move in if
 
 00:40:38.750 --> 00:40:42.139
 today we do not find cooperation
 in these people we need to
 
 00:40:42.140 --> 00:40:45.258
 move in such that we can
 it so I agree with you
 
 00:40:45.259 --> 00:40:49.144
 Commissioner if it can arrest these
 people because the longer it goes.
 
 00:40:49.145 --> 00:40:52.489
 It is giving all the other
 opportunities to comment and seize
 
 00:40:52.490 --> 00:40:56.149
 the opportunity and then it
 gets out of control that is
 
 00:40:56.150 --> 00:40:59.269
 it so I think yes that tomorrow be
 
 00:40:59.270 --> 00:41:03.619
 the D-Day where we issue the ultimatum
 and say If you do not show up for work.
 
 00:41:03.620 --> 00:41:05.849
 Sorry that is it
 
 00:41:29.060 --> 00:41:32.849
 You may go to
 
 00:41:44.890 --> 00:41:49.600

 00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:56.489

 00:42:05.450 --> 00:42:06.753
 Alright
 
 00:42:06.754 --> 00:42:06.889

 the president of unquote if a good
 monitor units to match withdrew.
 
 00:42:34.294 --> 00:42:40.223
 Their machine to to cada Ada Stevia
 guys came out of the offices of
 
 00:42:40.224 --> 00:42:45.574
 NUM fiat adult tickets There was no
 firing at any point due on Friday.
 
 00:42:45.575 --> 00:42:50.088
 This feather confirms my view that
 unquote behind them much the fact that
 
 00:42:50.089 --> 00:42:54.964
 they one way of achieving that is if the
 leaders of the two polygons the unions.
 
 00:42:54.965 --> 00:42:58.068
 Come together go there
 publicly together and say okay
 
 00:42:58.069 --> 00:43:01.263
 for now let\'s go back to
 work we early on is that
 
 00:43:01.264 --> 00:43:07.128
 our outside ready to take us there ever
 too difficult unless I cyclical times
 
 00:43:07.129 --> 00:43:09.214
 I\'m thankful any Muslim corner yes
 
 00:43:09.215 --> 00:43:13.323
 Kalanick our position as
 management is as follows we agree.
 
 00:43:13.324 --> 00:43:14.943
 People must be designed.
 
 00:43:14.944 --> 00:43:21.378
 We went to meet the structures of the unions
 to discuss any grievance or consent in
 
 00:43:21.379 --> 00:43:24.529
 the most civilized manner
 Without pandas and without
 
 00:43:24.530 --> 00:43:28.024
 cars we can do it now we can
 do it as soon as possible.
 
 00:43:28.025 --> 00:43:31.999
 Ready let\'s go then let\'s hope that\'s
 bulges at Montana and agreement.
 
 00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:36.738
 During a radio interview the leaders of
 the trade unions agree on air to address
 
 00:43:36.739 --> 00:43:41.419
 the miners at the mountain
 London\'s Barnard mucuna remains
 
 00:43:41.420 --> 00:43:43.128
 silent about whether he will join
 
 00:43:43.129 --> 00:43:49.519
 them on the drive towards Americana
 afforded reached out and had been there
 
 00:43:49.520 --> 00:43:51.928
 before afforded reached
 it because there are
 
 00:43:51.929 --> 00:43:55.728
 all these armored vehicles police
 armored vehicles and private
 
 00:43:55.729 --> 00:43:59.148
 security vehicles with fully
 addressed tactical guys
 
 00:43:59.149 --> 00:44:02.613
 in uniforms had never seen military gear.
 
 00:44:02.614 --> 00:44:06.378
 No policing getters all
 automatic Metagraph wills are
 
 00:44:06.379 --> 00:44:12.259
 fives sixes and I stopped the
 thing had reached the kind of
 
 00:44:12.260 --> 00:44:16.219
 front-line or the police but they\'re
 all eating and having a p and
 
 00:44:16.220 --> 00:44:19.879
 you know the parsing time so I kept
 
 00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:23.629
 going and eventually got to
 the right spot and it was
 
 00:44:23.630 --> 00:44:28.590
 clear that this thing was
 going to be a huge conflict
 
 00:45:04.870 --> 00:45:08.689
 Minus shutdown answer on positive six.
 
 00:45:08.690 --> 00:45:11.643
 One person who commanded the respect of
 
 00:45:11.644 --> 00:45:16.098
 all parties and he might have been
 able to resolve the conflict was so
 
 00:45:16.099 --> 00:45:19.953
 Ram opposer because the
 former mine worker leader
 
 00:45:19.954 --> 00:45:23.689
 is now one of the most
 influential politicians inside
 
 00:45:23.690 --> 00:45:30.948
 the ruling party Did
 
 00:45:30.949 --> 00:45:36.273
 it ever cross your mind to go to the
 mountain to speak to the workers.
 
 00:45:36.274 --> 00:45:41.718
 I prefer not to answer that one because
 if I ever got to give evidence.
 
 00:45:41.719 --> 00:45:49.719
 Have to deal with things like that email
 communication was uncovered at the commission.
 
 00:45:50.164 --> 00:45:53.869
 Sharing Silvano posa energetically lobbying
 
 00:45:53.870 --> 00:45:59.508
 government ministers to increase police
 presence and pressing for action to be
 
 00:45:59.509 --> 00:46:07.509
 taken against the minus chairperson will
 have the now procession Emails that
 
 00:46:09.290 --> 00:46:15.874
 were being exchanged between the mind
 management the government minister
 
 00:46:15.875 --> 00:46:22.953
 of minerals and energy which talk about
 discussions with the Minister of police.
 
 00:46:22.954 --> 00:46:26.324
 At the center of which is
 a gentleman called Rama
 
 00:46:26.325 --> 00:46:30.599
 posa Saran oppose or writes
 about discussions he had with
 
 00:46:30.600 --> 00:46:33.858
 the Minister of mining
 citizenship Bangor she
 
 00:46:33.859 --> 00:46:38.928
 agrees that what we are going through is
 not a labor dispute but a criminal act.
 
 00:46:38.929 --> 00:46:43.248
 She\'s going into a cabinet and we\'ll
 brief the President as well and
 
 00:46:43.249 --> 00:46:48.034
 get the Minister of police not Tim
 tetra to act in a more pointed way
 
 00:46:48.035 --> 00:46:50.569
 Let\'s just keep the pressure on them to act
 
 00:46:50.570 --> 00:46:55.158
 correctly by interrupting you but what
 is the date of that email which is
 
 00:46:55.159 --> 00:47:02.718
 the 15th of August 258 exactly 24
 hours before the people were moved
 
 00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:10.719
 down then that that mountain stellar I\'m a
 parser advised that what was taking place.
 
 00:47:11.120 --> 00:47:14.119
 Uh plainly I\'m quoting now task that link
 
 00:47:14.120 --> 00:47:22.008
 criminal and must be characterised as
 such in line with this characterization.
 
 00:47:22.009 --> 00:47:26.689
 There needs to be concomitant
 action to address
 
 00:47:26.690 --> 00:47:32.419
 the situation That at the heart of
 
 00:47:32.420 --> 00:47:39.574
 this was the toxic collision
 between the S-A-P-S and London.
 
 00:47:39.575 --> 00:47:43.848
 At the direct level at a
 much broader level it can
 
 00:47:43.849 --> 00:47:47.793
 be called a collusion between
 the state and capital.
 
 00:47:47.794 --> 00:47:50.569
 Black people who get into
 
 00:47:50.570 --> 00:47:57.559
 come white owned companies through the
 black economic empowerment process
 
 00:47:57.560 --> 00:48:04.189
 then get into a system one
 which is very reluctant to
 
 00:48:04.190 --> 00:48:11.464
 change and to which they don\'t own
 completely and which they don\'t control.
 
 00:48:11.465 --> 00:48:19.439
 So Best what they do or why
 do we do is to be advocates
 
 00:48:54.190 --> 00:48:58.128
 After the radio broadcast
 Joseph Martin\'s where
 
 00:48:58.129 --> 00:49:01.998
 the leader of Ankur arrives at the mountain
 with the num leadership in an attempt
 
 00:49:01.999 --> 00:49:04.938
 to persuade their workers
 to return to work on
 
 00:49:04.939 --> 00:49:08.478
 the basis of a commitment made on
 air by Longmen management that they
 
 00:49:08.479 --> 00:49:12.828
 were now willing to talk Joseph and
 
 00:49:12.829 --> 00:49:15.019
 Tanjore told me that uh he confidently
 
 00:49:15.020 --> 00:49:18.429
 expected that when he arrived that there
 would be a meeting between himself.
 
 00:49:18.430 --> 00:49:19.758
 This does Corner.
 
 00:49:19.759 --> 00:49:21.454
 And the London management.
 
 00:49:21.455 --> 00:49:26.898
 Instead what he found was the general mere
 pamby he asked would either tritium in
 
 00:49:26.899 --> 00:49:32.629
 leaders go up to the mountain to speak to
 the strikers and say leave your arms there.
 
 00:49:32.630 --> 00:49:35.669
 Leave the mountain just leave
 
 00:49:36.340 --> 00:49:42.319
 A small delegation from num went first
 and they went and armored truck and
 
 00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:45.048
 the armored truck approached the mountain
 
 00:49:45.049 --> 00:49:49.219
 and the strikers were told that
 inside the truck was the president of
 
 00:49:49.220 --> 00:49:52.998
 the National Union of Mineworkers
 and that he wasn\'t getting out of
 
 00:49:52.999 --> 00:49:57.918
 the truck it was clear from the reception.
 
 00:49:57.919 --> 00:50:01.469
 They simply didn\'t want they
 did not want them there.
 
 00:50:09.490 --> 00:50:12.798
 Well Joseph had a much better reception.
 
 00:50:12.799 --> 00:50:15.498
 Again he was not allowed by
 the police to get out of
 
 00:50:15.499 --> 00:50:22.458
 the truck And then it wasn\'t
 just in front of them being
 
 00:50:22.459 --> 00:50:26.029
 spent their insight to come up with other
 
 00:50:26.030 --> 00:50:30.448
 well why don\'t you simply say you
 can come to a data point could just
 
 00:50:30.449 --> 00:50:38.449
 walk where we just go and talk to
 girls preseason workbook you will
 
 00:50:40.415 --> 00:50:46.519
 finish the term Adam climate
 and our plan is to pull
 
 00:50:46.520 --> 00:50:54.150
 back there
 
 00:50:58.810 --> 00:51:03.500
 although I was dead Yeah
 
 00:51:14.080 --> 00:51:17.778
 he made headway on the
 strikers came to him and said
 
 00:51:17.779 --> 00:51:21.364
 Look it\'s late in the
 day it\'s getting dark.
 
 00:51:21.365 --> 00:51:25.894
 What we\'d like you to do is to come
 back at nine o\'clock in the morning.
 
 00:51:25.895 --> 00:51:27.633
 But more significantly.
 
 00:51:27.634 --> 00:51:32.718
 He was telling them that if they
 were to leave the mountain.
 
 00:51:32.719 --> 00:51:37.979
 Then management would address their grievances
 in other words at least speak to them
 
 00:51:58.650 --> 00:52:02.769
 So he went back and he reported
 that Earth to the police and to
 
 00:52:02.770 --> 00:52:08.499
 the London management to the factor
 the Peter Joseph tungiasis is other
 
 00:52:08.500 --> 00:52:12.519
 we\'re really optimistic I mean general
 my-append Bei He said in fact saluted
 
 00:52:12.520 --> 00:52:18.294
 him and said well done and one
 of the other Longman managers.
 
 00:52:18.295 --> 00:52:22.988
 Said yes. Congratulations maybe we
 can do that and so there was a sort
 
 00:52:22.989 --> 00:52:29.100
 of chunk that was a light there
 Someone that could be developed
 
 00:53:00.730 --> 00:53:06.109
 to remember that we said our intention is
 
 00:53:06.110 --> 00:53:11.329
 to the people And are also our
 intention is to make sure that
 
 00:53:11.330 --> 00:53:15.619
 the people that they leave that
 illegal gathering area where they
 
 00:53:15.620 --> 00:53:20.598
 are and that is what we will do today and I
 
 00:53:20.599 --> 00:53:24.018
 said to you we wish that we will do
 
 00:53:24.019 --> 00:53:30.768
 that still amicable Meaning
 we will ask them to leave.
 
 00:53:30.769 --> 00:53:36.604
 But then I don\'t want to explain
 to you if they don\'t wet.
 
 00:53:36.605 --> 00:53:44.605
 What I told you is today we
 n-d this mid what we have
 
 00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:50.539
 statements from the National Commission
 and the provincial Commissioner which
 
 00:53:50.540 --> 00:53:55.023
 make clear that the night before
 
 00:53:55.024 --> 00:53:57.949
 the provincial Commissioner had informed
 
 00:53:57.950 --> 00:54:02.928
 the National Commissioner that accepts could
 not persuade the strikers to lay down
 
 00:54:02.929 --> 00:54:06.918
 their weapons and leave the copy by
 negotiations she would issue an instruction for
 
 00:54:06.919 --> 00:54:11.299
 the strikers to be dispersed
 After deliberations.
 
 00:54:11.300 --> 00:54:16.564
 The meeting endorsed the proposal to disarm
 the protesting masses and further indicated
 
 00:54:16.565 --> 00:54:19.368
 that additional resources
 must be made available upon
 
 00:54:19.369 --> 00:54:23.429
 needs identification by the
 provincial commissioner Northwest
 
 00:54:49.690 --> 00:54:57.690
 The most foreboding indication
 of the intentions of those who
 
 00:54:57.709 --> 00:55:04.983
 placed an order for for short
 events vans from the morgue.
 
 00:55:04.984 --> 00:55:07.999
 What else are you anticipate
 it says Statement of
 
 00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:11.329
 anticipation of what is good
 to have them can we not
 
 00:55:11.330 --> 00:55:14.209
 please move on to the morning of 16 August
 
 00:55:14.210 --> 00:55:21.169
 2012 we then requested one of the
 security to call Mr. quality
 
 00:55:21.170 --> 00:55:25.623
 and to advise him that we have arrived as
 
 00:55:25.624 --> 00:55:32.118
 we were inside the office he said
 it doesn\'t have good news for us
 
 00:55:32.119 --> 00:55:38.779
 He was referring to the commitment made
 by the management that once there were
 
 00:55:38.780 --> 00:55:45.558
 caused renounced vow lens live arms
 and return back to work peacefully.
 
 00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:51.060
 Their management we will
 engage to their grievances.
 
 00:56:02.260 --> 00:56:06.619
 We now know that this was a joint
 operation between London and
 
 00:56:06.620 --> 00:56:10.188
 the police that lawn moon was
 completely integrated into
 
 00:56:10.189 --> 00:56:13.998
 the police strategy and the
 system the police strategy It
 
 00:56:13.999 --> 00:56:18.978
 provided a senior executive to
 be part of the police team they
 
 00:56:18.979 --> 00:56:23.028
 briefed the police officers and
 senior generals at least once every
 
 00:56:23.029 --> 00:56:30.303
 day they provided helicopters and went out
 on surveillance expeditions with the police.
 
 00:56:30.304 --> 00:56:35.269
 They provided detention facilities
 and at the very end of the day
 
 00:56:35.270 --> 00:56:37.399
 after all the killings
 were done they provided
 
 00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:40.559
 the London game farm for
 the people who failed.
 
 00:56:48.670 --> 00:56:54.109
 Are we to believe that
 even Major General Pierre
 
 00:56:54.110 --> 00:57:00.184
 Ha Hidden. py air that
 this with her principal.
 
 00:57:00.185 --> 00:57:06.603
 The Minister of police deed.
 
 00:57:06.604 --> 00:57:13.878
 You make a telephone call to the minister
 reporting to him that Keiling\'s that
 
 00:57:13.879 --> 00:57:16.429
 had taken place at Marika on
 
 00:57:16.430 --> 00:57:21.813
 the 30th of August 2012 Do you
 remember me asking you that question.
 
 00:57:21.814 --> 00:57:26.269
 You\'ve asked me a lot of questions
 it could have been one of those is
 
 00:57:26.270 --> 00:57:29.988
 general this is a simple
 question are you suggesting
 
 00:57:29.989 --> 00:57:37.989
 that you do not remember for effect you do
 not remember me asking you that question I
 
 00:57:39.365 --> 00:57:43.489
 have had a number of questions from
 you and that could have been one of
 
 00:57:43.490 --> 00:57:50.209
 those canes on such a large scale
 
 00:57:50.210 --> 00:57:55.053
 would that have been a matter
 of concern to your minister.
 
 00:57:55.054 --> 00:58:01.413
 I said. Yes. If it was or would have been.
 
 00:58:01.414 --> 00:58:04.008
 What if anything.
 
 00:58:04.009 --> 00:58:12.009
 Did the minister Do I have already
 given my response to this one so.
 
 00:58:12.490 --> 00:58:16.878
 Nearly the current leader
 in Bendigo hub He gives us.
 
 00:58:16.879 --> 00:58:21.799
 Leadership in that space and
 support I have failed maybe
 
 00:58:21.800 --> 00:58:26.659
 to answer in a minute that is appreciated.
 
 00:58:26.660 --> 00:58:34.660
 Maybe I\'m short of answering
 your question 16 hexane must
 
 00:58:35.509 --> 00:58:39.858
 figure as he was fingers
 Guan list then as long as
 
 00:58:39.859 --> 00:58:44.733
 the heap was a van is a drag
 O\'bannons argue for a while.
 
 00:58:44.734 --> 00:58:48.993
 Figure Emma battle going apply
 they tumbled out by MR2 shock.
 
 00:58:48.994 --> 00:58:52.623
 Intellectual abomasum but
 I swear footie meningo
 
 00:58:52.624 --> 00:58:58.039
 by Mate morning it had become clear to
 the miners that London had gone back
 
 00:58:58.040 --> 00:58:59.538
 on their commitment to talk to
 
 00:58:59.539 --> 00:59:02.430
 them And
 
 00:59:02.620 --> 00:59:10.620
 I still
 
 00:59:33.280 --> 00:59:41.280
 don\'t know about so we\'ll find out
 
 00:59:45.910 --> 00:59:47.088
 Well
 
 00:59:47.089 --> 00:59:48.269
 my
 
 00:59:59.380 --> 01:00:00.978
 God God
 
 01:00:00.979 --> 01:00:08.979
 all the way to my dog
 
 01:00:28.930 --> 01:00:33.044
 Furthermore postdocs
 example of another add-on.
 
 01:00:33.045 --> 01:00:37.769
 Itself rather
 
 01:00:48.390 --> 01:00:50.929
 easily
 
 01:01:13.420 --> 01:01:15.019
 The question I
 
 01:01:15.020 --> 01:01:21.678
 ask you is this a decision that you say
 you took to implement states three.
 
 01:01:21.679 --> 01:01:29.463
 Was that decision taken because there
 had been an escalation. Was it taken.
 
 01:01:29.464 --> 01:01:32.238
 Even though there hadn\'t been an
 escalation that\'s the question I
 
 01:01:32.239 --> 01:01:35.599
 wouldn\'t want to episode.
 
 01:01:35.600 --> 01:01:40.759
 I\'ll put a little paragraph
 degree escalation but what
 
 01:01:40.760 --> 01:01:45.829
 I find so answer is the decision to
 is to implement Stage three which
 
 01:01:45.830 --> 01:01:50.298
 you say you took and conveyed to
 the provincial commission that was
 
 01:01:50.299 --> 01:01:57.549
 Rough because of explanation but the fact that
 even though they wasn\'t his professional.
 
 01:02:12.160 --> 01:02:20.160
 Might already know
 
 01:02:31.540 --> 01:02:37.019
 So this is.
 
 01:02:48.400 --> 01:02:56.400
 Yeah free about it should be that
 they\'re not in our free path
 
 01:03:05.950 --> 01:03:12.699
 there may have been I thought up yeah
 
 01:03:18.330 --> 01:03:26.330
 But what do I do and I
 
 01:03:27.110 --> 01:03:32.254
 said well I don\'t want to
 
 01:03:32.255 --> 01:03:38.988
 but there are all these are given to talk.
 
 01:03:38.989 --> 01:03:45.630
 Yet about the planet an icon
 set then you have F omega j.
 
 01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:49.714
 Therefore Madonna.
 
 01:03:49.715 --> 01:03:57.149
 Isn\'t good has no memory
 of my banana coconut
 
 01:04:16.060 --> 01:04:21.634
 I still remember vividly
 the face of those workers.
 
 01:04:21.635 --> 01:04:28.924
 I still remember my weights I said
 when colon m can be of ATV asked me.
 
 01:04:28.925 --> 01:04:33.468
 What now I said all this is in courts
 
 01:04:33.469 --> 01:04:39.149
 ends and mean mortal men those
 are my waste. More time
 
 01:04:56.380 --> 01:05:00.663
 Immediately following Joseph who
 turned to his passionate plea.
 
 01:05:00.664 --> 01:05:05.969
 Over a thousand miners decided to leave
 the mountain and make their way home
 
 01:05:29.410 --> 01:05:32.988
 We have been in negotiations
 with his gathering for
 
 01:05:32.989 --> 01:05:38.974
 quite a few days and part of that was that
 simple can reach an epic Amoco solution
 
 01:05:38.975 --> 01:05:41.598
 for them to drop the weapons and
 
 01:05:41.599 --> 01:05:46.474
 disperse unfortunately it doesn\'t
 seem as if negotiations have proven
 
 01:05:46.475 --> 01:05:49.548
 successful and these are
 complete service is going to
 
 01:05:49.549 --> 01:05:52.788
 have to go over to the tactical
 phase to ensure that we
 
 01:05:52.789 --> 01:05:59.479
 take weapons away from from those gathered
 yet for that I need or the media.
 
 01:05:59.480 --> 01:06:07.480
 Beyond our vehicles There\'s still
 a culture is why would go up by
 
 01:06:09.169 --> 01:06:13.009

 On
 
 01:07:52.609 --> 01:07:53.939
 The other
 
 01:08:06.100 --> 01:08:08.549
 side
 
 01:08:09.760 --> 01:08:17.760
 Just like
 
 01:08:33.370 --> 01:08:35.559
 that
 
 01:09:27.260 --> 01:09:28.598
 I
 
 01:09:28.599 --> 01:09:30.070
 Agree
 
 01:09:51.460 --> 01:09:53.760
 Right
 
 01:10:41.260 --> 01:10:47.448
 Who independently Jong helium neon
 
 01:10:47.449 --> 01:10:53.799
 in Canada falling enzyme land filling
 
 01:11:04.120 --> 01:11:06.689
 Bomba
 
 01:11:38.740 --> 01:11:42.089
 And eventually
 
 01:12:02.670 --> 01:12:06.619
 if I think of
 
 01:12:06.620 --> 01:12:14.620
 it as
 
 01:12:16.720 --> 01:12:19.188
 15 to 20 minutes
 
 01:12:19.189 --> 01:12:23.793
 after the initial shooting All
 the commanders should have sit.
 
 01:12:23.794 --> 01:12:28.564
 What you\'ve shot How many people stand up
 
 01:12:28.565 --> 01:12:35.520
 stand up they went and carried on a
 hunting down people for 20 minutes
 
 01:13:06.760 --> 01:13:11.538
 When I saw what the commission
 and the police call s2.
 
 01:13:11.539 --> 01:13:17.178
 Which is the small copy is several 100 meters
 away from the stuff we saw on television.
 
 01:13:17.179 --> 01:13:21.420
 It is clear that this was nothing
 like what had happened at the fussy
 
 01:14:01.030 --> 01:14:08.628
 In Norway and say chi of a wild
 west isobar isobar telecom
 
 01:14:08.629 --> 01:14:13.728
 but we know
 
 01:14:13.729 --> 01:14:17.599
 from the examination of
 the scene pi friends and
 
 01:14:17.600 --> 01:14:21.903
 officers that for example
 they found cartridges.
 
 01:14:21.904 --> 01:14:24.619
 On tops of the rocks we
 knew that they found
 
 01:14:24.620 --> 01:14:28.099
 dead bodies at the bottom of the
 rocks yeah Would conclude there is
 
 01:14:28.100 --> 01:14:31.308
 a strong possibility that officers stood
 
 01:14:31.309 --> 01:14:34.638
 and short people who were at the bottom
 of the rock I mean you\'re talking
 
 01:14:34.639 --> 01:14:36.349
 you at distance of
 
 01:14:36.350 --> 01:14:40.278
 perhaps only 234 meters the police seem to
 
 01:14:40.279 --> 01:14:44.239
 stick to this self-defense story they kept
 repeating the same thing even though it\'s
 
 01:14:44.240 --> 01:14:46.579
 blindingly obvious and yet dozens of
 
 01:14:46.580 --> 01:14:49.699
 witnesses saying talking about
 people trying to surrender being
 
 01:14:49.700 --> 01:14:53.659
 killed repeatedly shocked as
 they were trying to Syria and
 
 01:14:53.660 --> 01:14:59.099
 much as once coming up to three times
 with their hands shot repeatedly
 
 01:15:31.900 --> 01:15:39.448
 I went in and had killed they
 just accumulate and otherwise.
 
 01:15:39.449 --> 01:15:47.449
 None. Okay all right
 
 01:15:50.560 --> 01:15:53.070
 So yeah
 
 01:15:54.280 --> 01:16:02.280
 yeah yeah
 
 01:16:10.710 --> 01:16:18.710
 yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
 yeah that\'s where gamma
 
 01:16:43.050 --> 01:16:51.050
 Vertical you can book it
 doesn\'t really look good
 
 01:16:52.960 --> 01:17:00.960
 in some sense to put him
 
 01:17:03.450 --> 01:17:08.109
 to put people who
 
 01:17:08.110 --> 01:17:16.110
 need that So if whatever
 
 01:17:26.870 --> 01:17:34.140
 whatever. As likely
 
 01:17:40.370 --> 01:17:47.310
 to far this.
 
 01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:53.080
 Someone else
 
 01:18:02.260 --> 01:18:07.458
 Let us take note of the fact
 
 01:18:07.459 --> 01:18:15.139
 that whatever happened you represent
 the best opera responsible policing.
 
 01:18:15.140 --> 01:18:18.918
 You did what you did because you are being
 
 01:18:18.919 --> 01:18:25.009
 responsible you are making sure
 that you continue to live your
 
 01:18:25.010 --> 01:18:33.010
 own way of ensuring that South
 Africans are safe and that you are
 
 01:18:34.610 --> 01:18:38.239
 a citizen of this country and safety stats
 
 01:18:38.240 --> 01:18:45.813
 weekly But who looked out for the
 safety of our lowly paid miners.
 
 01:18:45.814 --> 01:18:52.008
 Surely it should have been those who work
 so tirelessly for our struggle for freedom.
 
 01:18:52.009 --> 01:18:59.029
 Those you now hold the reins of
 political power it is the time to
 
 01:18:59.030 --> 01:19:02.598
 point finger in the first place to point
 
 01:19:02.599 --> 01:19:06.693
 fingers at those whose
 fingers pulled the trigger.
 
 01:19:06.694 --> 01:19:10.624
 But the foot soldiers.
 
 01:19:10.625 --> 01:19:14.688
 What about those who pulled the strings.
 
 01:19:14.689 --> 01:19:19.759
 Who gave the orders and
 who are they tell me who
 
 01:19:19.760 --> 01:19:24.858
 are the Minister of police The President.
 
 01:19:24.859 --> 01:19:28.759
 The. He\'s got the answer this is
 
 01:19:28.760 --> 01:19:32.838
 what we want to see from a commission
 and the President and the Ministers
 
 01:19:32.839 --> 01:19:36.259
 in a security cluster I\'ve
 been there and know how it
 
 01:19:36.260 --> 01:19:41.299
 works and if the police carried
 out without that kind of
 
 01:19:41.300 --> 01:19:45.949
 instruction then what are they guilty of in
 
 01:19:45.950 --> 01:19:51.198
 terms of the way they dealt with
 that situation you see heads need to
 
 01:19:51.199 --> 01:19:54.888
 role at a very high level
 and we don\'t want to
 
 01:19:54.889 --> 01:20:00.799
 see a commission of inquiry
 that white washes things that
 
 01:20:00.800 --> 01:20:07.909
 keeps the lid on In the end we\'ll apportion
 blame to the strike is to the Union
 
 01:20:07.910 --> 01:20:12.349
 splits to the mine owners and so on what
 
 01:20:12.350 --> 01:20:17.999
 about the politicians who
 are the ones responsible
 
 01:20:47.390 --> 01:20:51.369
 And you\'ve got.
 
 01:20:59.920 --> 01:21:02.210
 You\'ve got to
 
 01:21:23.740 --> 01:21:24.909
 do
 
 01:21:24.910 --> 01:21:28.859
 That Suppose
 
 01:21:37.900 --> 01:21:40.388
 I have a lambda must hold.
