Quick Glance: NPA's Commitment to Marikana Killings Prosecution: Swift Action Promised
  • The NPA is currently reviewing the case dockets of the Marikana mass shootings that occurred on August 16, 2012.

  • Over a year later, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) is still studying the docket regarding the shooting of 34 striking Marikana miners, and a decision on the prosecution of police officers has not yet been made.

  • According to the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid), which investigated the shootings of Lonmin miners on August 16, 2012, during a wildcat strike, the docket was handed over to the NPA on May 13, 2022.

  • NPA spokesperson Henry Mamothame stated that it is too early to determine when a decision will be made, as a team of prosecutors is still thoroughly examining the docket.
