Murder at Small Koppie: The Real Story of the Marikana Massacre by Greg Marinovich

On this day in 2012 34 mineworkers were killed when police officers opened fire with assault rifles near the Marikana platinum mine in the Northwest. Some of the killings near a hilltop called Wonderkop were caught live on camera. The policemen involved claimed that they felt in danger and acted in self defence. The Farlam Commission was also at a loss when it tried to make findings about the events at a smaller koppie nearby where many mineworkers died away from the camera lenses. But photojournalist Greg Marinovich investigated and wrote an award winning book Murder at Small Koppie: The Real Story of the Marikana Massacre. He joins us via skype from the United States.
