    Earlier this week, 2oceansvibe brought you footage initially broadcast by Channel 4 News that depicted gruesome scenes from the Marikana Killing Koppie in which one policeman in particular bragged about killing a miner. 

    Now, in the follow up to that piece of investigative journalism, we hear from some of the miners about the harassment key witnesses have faced.

    Writes Inigo Gilmore, responsible for the initial report, about the ramifications that have happened since his work has been screened worldwide: 

    Critically it has raised a significant challenge for the judicial commission of inquiry, set up by Jacob Zuma’s government following a national outcry over the killings. It is possibly the most important evidence submitted so far – but until we highlighted its contents and pointed out the implications of the video, it had almost been almost overlooked. 

    On Tuesday morning (29th January) the Commission went into emergency session to discuss the issues raised by the Channel 4 News report. Afterwards, Judge Ian Farlam, said: “In the circumstances, the commission is of the view that it is premature to draw conclusions from the video footage that is included in the broadcast.” 

    Judge Farlam confirmed that two policemen, Captain Rylands and Sergeant Mahlatsi, filmed the footage and that the commission had seen it.
