          On 16 August 2013, exactly one year after the Marikana Massacre, 20,000 workers peacefully commemorated that fateful day.

          Church leaders, political parties, progressives and the workers themselves addressed the crowd – including thousands of workers who sat on the now notorious Marikana mountain. Many of the workers engaged in a deep spiritual reflection the day before, when they re-enacted the strike that took place a year earlier and spent the entire night holding a vigil at the mountain.
