One hundred activists recently undertook a trek from Marikana, in the North West province, to the Union Buildings in Pretoria, demanding compensation for the widows of the 34 mineworkers who were killed when police opened fire on striking miners in 2012 in the mining town. A group of protesters, demanding the reinstatement of outsourced municipal workers who lost their jobs in 2010 and 2011, met the Marikana marchers. The two groups decided to consolidate their marches in solidarity with each other's causes.
