Rustenburg - Members of the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) joined the protest at Nkaneng in Wonderkop on Tuesday on the sidelines of the Marikana inquiry.

“We want justice to be done,” said Mxolisi Mavuso, a member of the Johannesburg branch of the PAC.

“We are concerned that the police were not arrested, instead they arrested people who were injured,” he said, wiping blisters of sweat from his forehead.

“The conduct of the police created suspicions. We want justice for the people of Marikana, what happened here cannot be tolerated,” he said, before joining his group singing struggle songs at the Wonderkop hostel.

Representatives of the National Council of Trade Unions also joined the protest.

“Hands off Amcu (Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union) and the working class,” said member Simon Mdluli.
