Published On 11 Aug 2014
South Africa’s deputy president has testified at a commission of inquiry into the deaths of 34 people at a platinum mine two years ago.
Under cross examination, Cyril Ramaphosa told the inquiry that he wanted police to arrest striking miners – and not to do anything else. Most of those killed were shot dead by police.
