Marikana: Una masacre postapartheid

Abstract

In post-apartheid South Africa there are multiple scenarios of accumulated contradictions in the management of public policies by their diff erent governments and their negative impact on the consolidation of the national country. One of these sectors, protagonists in the historical and contemporary struggle, has been represented by the unions of mining workers. In this context, the working class of the Marikana miners emerges in their demands and claims with disastrous results that evidence a wrong state leadership in which repression and death sealed the protests.
