For those of us who are alarmed and angry at the murder of #FikileNtshangase, we must remember that this is but a glimpse of corrosive conflict in rural communities, especially for those who demand accountability from traditional leaders, political leaders and mining interests.
In some communities, people’s homes have been severely compromised, with huge cracks on the walls, weakened foundations because of aggressive practices by mining companies emboldened by traditional leaders and in some cases, local and national politicians.
The murders of #FikileNtshangase and #Bazooka occurred in communities where people are fighting for environment justice from the state & mining interests. We must ask the state about its role in these communities. We must demand #JusticeForFikile and justice for all communities.
