Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa has never instructed any police to kill people in Marikana. Worse SAPS Officials fell out of his jurisdictional authority.
Let alone the wrong emotions hypocrites create on people, Deputy President did the right thing but demanding police to protect his employees who were endangered.The act of killing non-striking employees was a criminal act and not labour dispute and preventing more deaths under SAPS protection is what any reasonable law-abiding citizen would have done.
This lies that you try to paint a wrong person with blood is absolute hypocrisy. If I were to be in his shoes in those circumstances, I would call the highest ranking police to take action. Whether police got killed previously by the miners I would have called police for law enforcement.
If they delay their arrival, I would add pressure due to the necessity of the situation dictating such. Every life matter. Strikes took place previously and there has been no killing when same people call police.
It's like many citizens' reactions when there is house breaking taking place, especially insured places, you will call police particularly if you foresee that they will over power you.
When we claim to shedding tears of our fallen people let us shed genuine human tears and not crocodile tears. Then you can speak of labour issues. DA in a form of EFF and the likes are hypocrites.
I know this will sound sour to many but it's a reality. Our people made a progressive call just like how you will expect from any employee.
We all learn from each other's mistakes. Let us not misuse people's emotions to advance political scoring. We all lost
