Boys ride on horses past the koppies where people are gathering in Marikana on August 16, 2022, ahead of the 10th anniversary of the Marikana massacre. August 16, 2022 marks 10 years since 34 mineworkers were killed and over 70 others injured when South African Police Services (SAPS) opened fire on workers who were protesting over wages at the then LONMIN-owned Marikana platinum mine. An official inquiry blamed the deaths and injuries squarely on police, recommending that those responsible be investigated and prosecuted. For anguished survivors and victims' families, the memories are still agonisingly fresh. (Photo by Phill Magakoe/AFP Photo)
