President Cyril Ramaphosa needs to pay a 'long-overdue' visit to Marikana.

Amcu president Joseph Mathunjwa, who frequently quoted the Bible in his address, said that there was no justice yet for the families of the deceased miners.

He continued: “A thief stole our children’s bread. Lonmin was a thief that stole and destroyed. Sibanye is another thief. Treat them as thieves also because they here to destroy and kill your life. You wouldn’t be here today if they didn’t kill your husbands. Lonmin and Sibanye are related, they are cousins because their ways are the same — it’s to steal and look down on the hard work of black people.

“When the company was transferred to Sibanye, the killings were also transferred to Sibanye. So from now on, we shall call it the Sibanye massacre; it’s no longer the Lonmin massacre,” Mathunjwa said.
