London, UK. 16th August 2017. Eventually police persuaded the protesters holding a protest vigil outside the South African High Commission in Trafalgar Square on the 5th anniversary of the massacre when 34 striking miners were shot dead by South African police at Lonmin's Marikana platinum mine that they would be better placed standing in front of the wall holding the banner and posters. The event was organised by the the Pan-Afrikan Society Community Forum (PACSF) and Marikana Miners Solidarity Campaign and was one of several events over 3 days. After around half an hour they were joined by Primrose Nokulunga Sonti and Thumeka Magwangqana who are visiting London from the Marikana women's organisation Sikhala Sonke (We Cry Together). Flowers were handed out and the two women gave a resounding presentation about the effects of the massacre. The event was continuing when I had to leave. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
