It has been seven years since striking miners at Marikana were shot down and 34 killed by police. It is regarded as the worst episode of state repression and violence in democratic South Africa. Despite the recommendations by the Farlam Commission for further investigations and prosecutions, as well as compensation to the families of those who were killed and the injured, little progress has been made. There are no signs of justice being served and in today’s show we discuss the impact on the victims of this horrific effect and the prospects of justice and compensation.

There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the death of Gavin Watson, Bosasa CEO now known as African Global Operations. He died on Monday near the OR Tambo International Airport East of Johannesburg. Taking calls on his death, some people mentioned that he was an antiapartheid activist. This then raised the question of how he damaged his reputation as many of us remember him more from being implicated for wrongdoing at the Zondo Commission into state capture. He is not the only one, we have seen how many of those in power today have tarnished their reputation so much that we have even forgotten the role they played in liberating the country. If one finds themselves in such a situation, is there any way of turning the picture around to a positive image? Why do so many people fall into the trap of corruption?

President Cyril Ramaphosa has urged G7 leaders to support Africa’s development. During his address at the G7 meeting in France, Ramaphosa pushed for infrastructure development on the continent. This is nothing new, seeing how African leaders come back empty handed from these summit. Do we really need support from G7 countries? And will the needs of Africa ever be heard by these G7 leaders or it’s an issue of African solutions for African problems?
