Shooting cuts Zuma stay
THE death toll in Thursday’s shooting of striking miners at Lonmin Mine in Rustenburg, South Africa, has risen to 34, prompting President Jacob Zuma to cut short his stay at the ongoing Sadc Summit in Mozambique.
It was not clear at the time of going to Press last night whether Sadc had discussed the Rustenburg massacre.
At least 78 people were injured as police battled to quell the violent protest.
South African police have since arrested over 259 striking workers.
The shooting has sparked outrage with labour unions describing it as “unwarranted and ruthless”.
President Zuma, the outgoing chairman of the Sadc Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Co-operation, was scheduled to brief the full summit on progress in the implementation of Zimbabwe’s Global Political Agreement.
He had briefed the Sadc Troika on the same issue late Thursday night.
It was not clear yesterday evening whether President Zuma, the Sadc-appointed facilitator to the GPA negotiations, had managed to brief the full summit on Zimbabwe before his hasty departure. He had earlier attended the opening ceremony, which ended just after midday.
“The President asked the new Sadc chairperson President (Armando) Guebuza of Mozambique and his colleagues, the Sadc Heads of State and Government, to release him so that he can go and attend to the matters at home,” the South African Presidency said in a statement.
South African police opened fire on the striking Lonmin PLC platinum mineworkers in Marikana, Rustenburg, after they reportedly ignored orders to disperse.
South African police commissioner Riah Phiyega defended the shooting yesterday saying the officers were “forced to utilise maximum force to defend themselves”
