South Africa, Marikana - August 16th, 2021
9th anniversary of the massacre of 34 miners of Marikana
9 years of the massacre of Marikana, we fight for trial and punishment of the murderers of the 34 miners: the Anglo American and its hitmen of the police and the treacherous union bureaucracy of Stalinism and its black millionaire government of the ANC. The Marikana miners are the Chicago martyrs today.
Today the workers of Marikana, as all the enslaved workers in Africa, and South Africa in particular, raise the same demands for justice, decent wage and work. As in 2012, the workers of South Africa have rebelled out of hunger. The fight is to defeat the regime and the starvation government and to provide a way out for the working class with its power. Only the workers power, the power of the black workers, will guarantee trial and punishment to the murderers.
They kill us in Marikana, in Johannesburg, in Harare, in New York, in Minneapolis, when we cross the Mediterranean Sea, in Paris… We are the enslaved tormented black working class. Justice and Freedom will come with the working class in power, fighting for the revolution, to dissolve the police, murderer of the miners of Marikana, of George Floyd and of all the exploited murdered by the capitalist system and its governments.
Trial and punishment for the murderers of the Marikana massacre! Workers' and popular courts!
The best way of paying tribute to the 34 murdered miners of Marikana is by making a call to the whole working class in southern Africa to rise in a single struggle for decent wage, against the waged slavery, against unemployment and hunger. The same struggle, the same enemy: Anglo American, the transnational companies, imperialism and its puppet governments!
We don’t forgive, we don’t forget!
Open the road to the workers power, open the road to the black power!
