A survivor of the Marikana massacre points to the bullet wounds across his body: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven". He had joined the 3,000 miners protesting against their sub-standard wages when police opened fire, killing 34 and wounding another 78. "I saw that apartheid was back. But now it was blacks killing blacks...blacks not wanting other blacks to prosper", says Xolani Nzuza, one of the co-coordinators of the protest. The Commission of Inquiry into the massacre has been sitting for 10 months, dogged by delays and false starts. It's also proving to be dangerous to be a witness at the commission. Six miners have been murdered just before they were to take the stand. "It troubles us that workers who witnessed the massacre have no lawyers. If they are not able to be represented, it means there is no truth in this commission", says one widow, Nonkulueko Ngxande.
