Watch: New Theory Emerges on Why S. African Miners Were Really Murdered
In news articles relating to the murder of several South African miners, stories suggested that the miners were gunned down because they charged at
police. For example, The Telegraph reported:
Riah Phiyega said that 34 miners were killed on Thursday and another 78 wounded when her officers used “maximum force” near Marikana mine, owned by Lonmin, the London-listed company.
They did so when a gang of “heavily armed” miners rushed towards them, armed with firearms as well as clubs and machetes. “Police retreated and were forced to use maximum force to defend themselves,” said Ms Phiyega.
Although video from the shooting does show some of the miners running toward police, some eyewitnesses say the miners were actually running away from soldiers, which forced them in the direction of police. In other words, they were trapped.
The dispute between rivaling mining unions, who were demanding higher wages from the Lonmin platinum mine, had already turned violent. Skirmishes between the rival unions, the National Union of Mineworkers and the more radical Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU), had resulted in several injuries and death.
Mnikelo Ndabankulu, speaking in Grahamstown, South Africa, shares what he says happened on the day the miners will killed, as well as what led to the violence. This speech formed part of a memorial service for miners massacred by police at the Lonmin platinum mine in Marikana.

This was just another way to get rid of Black people in Afrika! They (NATO) use Afrikan people, to kill other Afrikan people, indirectly.
Blacks do not produce guns and artillery; but these racists governments bring all these weapons in these poor areas around the world, especially Afrika and ameikkka, so our people can continue to kill each other!!!
The South African police did apply overwhelming force. From all indications, their RESPONSE did not correspond with the threat perceived. If the they (police) had unleashed rubber bullets in combination with tear gas, and water cannon, the result could not have been grave. I mourn for those unfortunate miners.
Another slave-breaking exercise of death. I want desperately for it to end.
So true there intentions are to do away with the black race they don’t realize that God created all peoples and God will have the final say so in all life.
It is time for Nelson Mandela to speak-up.These factions are tearing what he,Winnie, and the ANC put together apart.All government departments must be “Fully integrated” Especially,The Military-Police-Judges etc. I don’t care what,they call it: communalism/socialism/gobolism.Five million people ruling 20million people is “Modern Slavery”!Beware there is and always will be
Traitors in our midst
The respect must be restored!
Folks must not focus on just slavery as it was in the past but the wars around the world e.g. Turkey against Armenia!
Study the histories, have we learned anything to prevent this or are we just destined to keep this war alive?
Love shall conquer all!
We must find a way to promote love and respect.
Something is wrong because it is 2012 and it has gotten worse everywhere.
When I first saw the headline, ” South African Miners Killed” I thought this was about African miners killed during the days of White South African rule and this was an investigative story about history under Apartheid. Not until I read this story, did I realized it happen a few days ago…!!! Why are Black African miners being killed in Black African ruled South Africa….???? Have Black South Africans forgotten the racist brual policies enforced upon them by White South Africans…???? Thousands of Blacks were killed including children. Thousands were beaten, tortured, jailed, forced to carry ID Cards, forced to lived in shanty towns……Have Black South Africans forgotten all of that and are now killing their own people…????? And how can a London based company own a gold mine in South Africa……???? Neo Colonialism is alive and living in Black ruled South Africa…!!!
These serpents from these caucasoid countries are usurping Afrika and Afrikan people, as I type. What happens to Afrikans in Afrika; happens to Blacks in amerikkka!!! If negroids don’t wake up; they will have to start carrying I.D. cards…just look at this voting rights thang!!!
These crackers turned Afrikans against one another for their economic greed! The same thang is happening right here in racist amerikkka. These caucasoids have turned negroids against each other. A BLACK PERSON IS CONSCIOUS ENOUGH TO SEE THROUGH THIS BULLSHYT!
Where do these poor Afrikan soldiers get these assault weapons? Where do these poor Blacks here in amerikkka get their assault weapons?
THEY ALL COME FROM caucasoids!!!!
