On 16 August to commemorate the 2nd anniversary of the \xe2\x80\x9cMarikana\xe2\x80\x9d massacre at Lonmin, around 200 people marched to Philippi East’s Marikana informal settlement founded last year and named in honour of the striking mine workers killed by police. Shackdwellers have been violently evicted here in the past week. Police diverted the march from its planned destination, the Marikana settlement, to Philippi East police station.
