Mzoxolo Magidiwane hobbled on a crutch down the gravel path to his home past the hill where he was shot seven times a year ago when South African police fired on striking mineworkers in their most lethal use of force since the end of apartheid.
“Nothing has changed for this place, for these people,” Magidiwane, 25, said at his one-room corrugated-iron shack in the Nkaneng shantytown at Lonmin Plc’s Marikana platinum complex, where the violence took place on Aug. 16, 2012. “The truth needs to be known so justice can be done.”
