It sounds like something out of the worst days during the era of whites-only rule in South Africa. Poor workers striking for better pay and conditions, gunned down by police as they protest. But the killing of 34 miners in Marikana a decade ago didn't happen under apartheid - but on the watch of the ANC government.
An official investigation blames police tactics, but nobody has been convicted of the crimes.
Thousands of people gathered at the scene of the massacre in Marikana to mark what they say is the decade of injustice. Families laid flowers at the site where their loved ones were shot dead.
They're still demanding answers - and accountabilty. DW's Adrian Kriesch traveled to Marikana and sent us this report.
