Abstract
Following the tragic series of events which culminated in the shooting of 34 striking Lonmin workers on 16 August when police opened fire on the workers, the HSRC hosted a seminar to create a platform for participants to reflect and explore the questions arising from the Marikana-Lonmin tragedy. Since then, a formal Commission of Enquiry was established by government. Lindiwe Msengana-Ndlela reviews aspects of the discourse that could assist the research community, policy makers and citizen-activists.-
