SACP Moses Kotane District condemns killing of NUM women shop steward at Lonmin

13 August 2013

The SACP in Moses Kotane District condemns in the strongest terms the brutal killing of an NUM women shop steward at Lonmin. The SACP is taken aback by this barbaric act, committed during the month in which all South Africans are celebrating women’s month.

The SACP in Moses Kotane calls upon the community of Rustenburg and South Africans in general to stand against this Anti Union Offensive.

We call upon all South Africans and in particular Marikana communities to fight against the perpetrators of these criminal acts against our mothers and fathers.

We call upon the law enforcement agency to do its job as expected so that all these thugs camouflaging as voice of the voiceless in Lonmin Mines against NUM are locked up. As the SACP we are mindful of the fact that the only union that can bring peace, stability and human dignity is NUM in Marikana.

We remain committed and unshaken on the implementation of our resolutions to close ranks with our alliance.

We will defend our NUM, COSATU and ANC.

We send our deepest and heartfelt condolences to the family of the bereaved daughter of the soil.
