Police Come Under Fire at the Lonmin Inquiry

As the Farlam Commission of Inquiry into the shootings at Marikana gets under way, questions have been raised about police planning before a shooting that left 34 striking miners dead. The Commission also heard that police should have handled the negotiations with striking mineworkers in a different way so as to ensure a more favourable outcome. The Inquiry is expected to wrap up in May.
