Imagine that you a miner in a platinum mine in South Africa. You engage in a labor dispute with the mining company that pays you bare existence wages. You strike and hold a rally. The police come. They open fire with live bullets. Thirty four strikers die at the hands of a rogue police. Then a week later, the state prosecutor charges 270 of your fellow workers with murder!
This is what is happening in South Africa.
The decision to prosecute the striking miners for what the police did in shooting the protesters is outrageous. I blame Jacob Zuma, head of the ANC and president of South Africa.
The miners are blameless in the killing of their comrades, shot down by the police in cold blood.
