A court application to set aside the findings of the Farlam Commission of Inquiry into the Marikana killings in South Africa, seven years ago, is being processed. Lawyers for the families of the killed workers argue that the commission had exonerated state officials and mine executives and that they want a new inquiry. 34 mineworkers were shot dead by police on 16 August 2012, and 10 other people, including police officers and security guards, were killed in the preceding week during a strike at the Lonmin platinum mine which turned violent.
