Suspects, apparently ... those miners who went on strike and were arrested are now being trialled for murder according to a doctrine that has not been employed since the days of apartheid. Photo: Reuters
TWO weeks after the police opened fire on a crowd of 3000 striking workers at a platinum mine near Johannesburg, killing 34 people, prosecutors are bringing murder charges against a surprising set of suspects: the miners themselves.
Using an obscure legal doctrine frequently relied upon by the apartheid government in its dying days, prosecutors did not accuse the police officers who shot and killed the strikers as they surged forward, machetes in hand. Instead, officials said on Thursday they were pursuing murder charges against the 270 miners who were arrested after the shooting stopped.
It was the latest turn in a story that has unleashed rage in South Africa over inequality, poverty and unemployment. The decision to charge the miners threatened to intensify that rift.
A spokesman for the National Prosecuting Authority, Frank Lesenyego, cited ''34 counts of murder that have been laid against the 270 accused''. He said they were being charged under the ''common-purpose'' law, in which members of a crowd - at the time when a crime is committed - can be prosecuted as accomplices.
''The charge is spurious,'' said Pierre de Vos, a legal scholar at the University of Cape Town. ''It will not fly. No court in South Africa on any set of facts will find the miners guilty through the common-purpose doctrine.''
A spokesman for the Congress of South African Trade Unions, Patrick Craven, said: The lawyers must really be very stupid if they think these charges will stick.''
