16 August 2022 marks the tenth anniversary of the massacre at the Lonmin platinum mine in Marikana, where officers of the South African Police Service killed 34 striking mineworkers and injured many more. The Marikana Massacre is one of the most significant outcomes of the corporate impunity seen in South Africa alongside the toxic collusion between private interests and the state.

Join civic activist Koketso Moeti in conversation with Julian Brown, author of the recently-published Marikana: A People’s History, Asanda Benya, contributor to Business as Usual After Marikana: Corporate Power and Human Rights and community activist Gabsile Khanyile, as they commemorate and interrogate the massacre, spotlighting how the affected families have fared since then.

The panel will explore other pressing questions: Has there been any meaningful change in the arrangement between the state and corporates which led to the massacre? Have the conditions, both in the mines and in the community, that led to the strike in the first place, changed at all? What have we done?
