Stilfontein mine tragedy highlights the need for a much clearer SAPS Code of Conduct

--:--
With 87 bodies having been removed from the Stilfontein mine (whether there are others remains unclear) and with the scale of the tragedy beginning to fully sink in, there will be many different and necessary reckonings. There have been calls for a commission of inquiry but the first and most urgent task may involve identifying the deceased. It is reported that only two of the 87 bodies that are recovered have been identified. Phemelo is in discussion with Executive Director of Mining Affected Communities in Action, Christopher Rutledge and Mining Expert, David van Wyk.
