Marikana massacre steers limelight from Paralympics

marikana massacre strike cartoon. What a shame!
The Marikana massacre steers the limelight away from the Paralympics. It was that time were citizens say farewell to their Paralympics participants who are going to take part at the 2012 London Paralympics.
 South Africans did not have enough chance to give paralympians enough support for their departure as a dark cloud of sorrow surrounds Lonmin's Marikana platinum mine in the North West.
On the 16th of August 2012 dark cloud surrounds the Lonmin's Marikana platinum mine in the North West. More than 35 miners (some are still missing since the protest) and two policemen were killed during the Lonmin's Marikana platinum mine protest.
President Jacob Zuma said he was shocked and dismayed at what appeared to be one of the bloodiest police operations since the end of white-minority rule in 1994 in Africa's biggest economy.
It is sad that SA 2012 London paralympians did not get full blown attention and support from their fellow citizens because of the terrible incidence that saddened the whole country.
