Complete and egregious disregard for sustainable and effective skills transfer has doomed Zimbabwe and many countries at large (in Africa). I'm shocked to learn that the most skilled and knowledgeable black farm workers, who worked for successful white farmers, were also excluded from land allocation because they were considered "children of the white men" by fellow black land grabbers. Ridiculous.

Though it sad for any life to be lost. Few critical observations: 1. Trigger is a Salary incriment strike, how would have the pungers and spears etc. Ensure that the workers get the incriment? 2. The tension initially was between the workers and the union, resulting in 2 dead. Raised the tension....... 3. The fight between NUM and workers, gave AMCU(a union seeking to gain members and be the main union) the opportunity to attack NUM. I wonder if Matungwas actions were genuine, or he was also motivated by hitting NUM at its lowest and gaining members for AMCU. further tensions raised. 4. With tensions already high, police come into a volatile space and attempt to disarm a people carrying deadly weapons, coming into a situation where people had already been killed. The workers REFUSED(even singing, 'you strengthen your balls, your nothing') - Are we saying police had not right to disarm them? Lawless state? 5. That interaction resulted in police being killed, which then resulted in the tension between police and the workers. Are we not going to question the workers actions and ask, 'where is their accountability for their own actions?' The workers were surrounded by police yet they believed they were above the law and the police couldn't touch them. Further, some workers had guns and fired at police, again, do we still maintain that the workers were butchered? When for me, clear evidence exists of some workers, playing an instigating role and not cooperating with Police. When Police act, we cry of their heavy handedness and when they don't act, we cry that they are useless and their role is to maintain law and order. 🤷🏽‍♂️

God bless you Shaban Ji, I feel really bad for him, he deserves more blessings and recognition❤

15:30 the pain he's feeling is probably far less compared to the pain African people felt when their lands were just taken from them.

WIMSA white man still robbing, give the BUSHMAN so that we can buy OUR own land back. Misrepresent from van riebeeck with no morals

@Shiroya-Rumika. Botswana did not have any significant colonizer population. It was a protectorate. It's saving grace was that diamonds were discovered in relatively recent times and post independence. Until the discovery of diamonds Botswana was just a dusty location that held little interest to whites. It was their saving grace that diamonds were not discovered and mined during the colonial era and consequently had a negligible white population to cause strife and hoard the wealth. They have been able to build their country with their wealth. Botswana continues to have a comparatively small white settler population and indeed other immigrants from Asia etc., and I would posit that is one of the key reasons it such a peaceful, cohesive country that can focus on its growth. Absence of parasites and divisive cultures.

POVERTY. is not Freedom. Just another Begging Bowl in Africa created from IDEOLOGY. "Land is perceived to be WEALTH however its a BURDEN when TAXED" "WORKING and PUTTING BACK INTO the LAND CREATES SUSTAINED WEALTH"

Is there anyone who has a the background song saying Sivusa abalele.

Things change quickly 😂😂😂

There are greedy people .. there power hungry persons .. there is honesty too . seldom seen FO putin

I came to watch this for my assignment. Wow, it was just such an inspiring movement. I never would've known because I was young back then. Thanks to all the people who participated; you were the heroes.

They have killed Chris Hani and now Ramaphosa killing 😢innocent people who were fighting for there money but ramaphosa issued 2 be killed 💔 😢...It's painful cause no1 cares about this...ANC don't talk about this and they don't care and Ramaphosa don't have remorse about what he have made

We should've hold on to that 2015 fire as a country.

Hulle sal alles op hul manier self uitsorteer. UN moet nie eers inmeng nie

Beste is, los Afrika daar bo, net uit.

Man I am watching this on August 16, 2024 and it brings me to tears with each watch. This documentary on the Marikana massacre is a powerful reminder of a tragic and pivotal moment in history. It's vital that we never forget what happened on August 16, 2012, where the lives of 34 miners were cut short in a brutal act of violence. The events at Marikana highlight deep issues of inequality, labor rights, and systemic injustice that must remain in our collective memory. By remembering Marikana, we honor the victims and their families, and we commit to addressing the social and economic disparities that led to such a devastating event. Let this be a call to action for greater justice and accountability, ensuring that the sacrifices made are not in vain and that we strive for a future where such atrocities are a thing of the past.

How did we just move on just like that🤦🏾‍♂️??

As a young zimbabwen born in 2000 i don't see anything wrong with taking back the land .any zimbabwen can get land for free to do agriculture

is ZANU-PF a front for Rupert Murdoch?

Remember, this happened at the command of your current president.

Oh black china bam a lam oh black china

They shot them as they were walking away. Okay that's cruel. THEY WERE WALKING AWAY 😭😭😭

I do wonder, how one can be so naive as to rejoice, when a black leader comes to power???Have you ever experienced, that black leadership brings progress??? Sorry, but I have not! The change to black leadership makes a country unfit to live in for EVERYONE!

A lot of them passed away Bhele, Mambush, Andries and many others....May Their Souls RIP...18/7/2024

Kenyan Generation Z studied this and made sure their movement was leaderless. #RutoMustGo

Cry the beloved country…

This woman is talking nonsense

One thing I dont understand about the human race. How do you call somebody else's land your own ?? We are really not taken serious as humans ..... Damn

War vets madinga

Apartheid killed people in 1960 and 1976 ANC killed people in 1995 and 2012

Austerity is spending on government services what you make in tax revenue. The alternative is print money to pay for it. Money supply increases, prices of consumption and assets go up. Simple. If you cant afford a house and your parents could it's because government printed money to avoid austerity

There's a part 1h13sec after shooting.the man tries to get up after being shot at, you can tell that amandla wasengekho yet they just stood there and watched as there fellow brothers are dying on their watch.how did we get here. I don't often cry but this one hits home badly 😢😢

At the time lonmen had made 55bill dollar's at the time of the massacre yet they didn't want to pay a mere 12k .😢

Those 2 commission police woman are the lead to the massacre

Mmh

Is Jack Ndima Khoba still in the AMCU fold??? 8/6/2024

The whites took other people’s land the best land for themselves, miles for one farm, because you have stolen land for a long time does not make it yours, Mogabie was a rotten leader, any taxes payed was to other whites , what ever the blacks do with the land good or bad it’s their land.

Funny enough the commission absolved Mr MC Ramaphosa of any wrongdoing in the whole Marikana saga...4/6/2024

What people don't know is that at this time the masses were doing well economically. The middle class was growing, and back kids were getting excellent education. These guys were just a mob and by no means the majority. Now everyone who isn't eating the country's money with the government is poor af

well they took the farms and gave them to fellow cronies who've been farming fuck all. And the country has been hungry since then

Absolutely heartbreaking 💔. South African Police are so Trigger Happy! I watched a documentary on this and one of the journalists on scene asked a black lady police officer what is going to happen...she knew on day 1 what was going to go down....Rest in Peace 🙏🏻🕊️

Damn,this made me emotional

❤️💚🖤

Why is the narrative in Afrikaans ?

Give the Khoisan back their land....!

I am writing this, while preparing myself to wake up early in the morning to go cast my vote for the EFF as the political party which seems to be our solution as students of institutions of higher education in our country, 9 years later education is not yet free, fess have not yet fallen, we are really proud of the generation of 2015/16 FMF your fight is still our fight even today ALUTA CONTINUA. 29 May 2024 the historic day which marks exactly 30 years in democracy and the system is still more oppressive like apartheid.

The real malema not this one doubt esa le malema

Fase ka zuma

I just want to state that Khoisan are a black tribe, like the Xhosa, Tswanas etc.I see some people trying to separate them from black people, stop it
