Amandla.mobi: Send a message to Marikana

Message from Amandla.mobi:

Yesterday at police stations, the Chamber of Mines and the Union Buildings, we sent a message to our leaders that we will stand with the families of those massacred at Marikana [1]. As the widows and family members gather in Marikana to grieve this Sunday, lets remind them we have not forgotten their pain, or their fight for justice.

This is a critical moment to demand justice for Mzansi's first 'post-apartheid' massacre. After Sharpeville, Bisho and Soweto, we said never again. Yet our people continue to face exploitation and brutality. While we know people power can prevail, for those brave miners who gathered on that Koppie in Marikana nearly 3 years ago, their struggle for a living wage was met with silence from Lonmin and R-5 bullets from police.

Across Mzansi momentum is building to demand justice for Marikana. amandla .mobi members members like you in over 60 communities across our country have organised events to remember the slain and begin to organise their community to demand justice.

Send a message of support to the grieving widows and family members of those murdered in Marikana. Across Mzansi, members of the amandla .mobi community are sending messages of support via their cell phones in their language. Whether it's an SMS or Whatsapp message to 074 357 6937, or via our mobi site.

We will hand deliver your message to the families this Sunday evening. This is a moment for us to reflect as a community what happened 3 years ago, and what we can do to make sure it never happens again. Together, we can stop police using R-5 massacre rifles, and demand mining companies end their exploitation of our people and land.

Together for justice,
