Zuma to receive Marikana report

Johannesburg - The official report into the police killing of 34 South African miners in 2012 is due to be submitted to President Jacob Zuma on Tuesday, with rights groups demanding that its findings be published immediately.

The shooting at Marikana was the worst violence witnessed in the country since the advent of democracy in 1994, and evidence at the inquiry tarnished police claims that they acted in self-defence when they gunned down the striking miners.

In the days before, 10 other people were killed in other violence around the platinum mine - including non-striking miners, security guards and two police officers who were hacked to death.
