Rights’ groups demand police accountability for Marikana massacre

Rights’ groups with interests in the 2012 Marikana massacre continue to ask why it took seven years to bring the police officers accused of killing mineworkers before the courts. The Socio Economic Rights Institutions (SERI) and Right to Know (R2K) made the statements on Monday during a protest as former North West deputy police commissioner, major-general William Mpembe, appeared at the Mankwe Magistrate’s Court.
