    That's the content that was on the page Marikana Truth (link was posted here). I see the website is currently just a parked domain with Easyspace.

    I tried to help separate fact from questionable fiction here when it comes to some of the allegations.

    I remember but did not go read it again. Just thought since it is Arthur Mackay that he will have his facts straight, as he is an analyst.

    The fact that the page/ website originally associated with the "article" has disappeared is a little troubling.

    Went on the prowl and found this on Moneyweb.

    There’s also that scurrilous email that’s gone viral – a Goebbels-like hatchet job which mixes the occasional half truth with piles of outrageous lies. Half a dozen emails arrived in my inbox asking me to investigate. Only minutes into fact checking it became obvious one of the few things this “Arthur Mackay” fellow got right was the spelling of Cyril’s surname. It’s largely unadulterated falsehoods.

    ...

    Published below is the hatchet job on Ramaphosa which has gone viral on the Internet. Hardly a single “fact” is true. The author “Arthur Mackay” and the website on which it supposedly appeared “marikana-truth.com” do not actually exist. The garbage is republished here so when some misinformed busy-body regurgitates its contents, you’ll know from whence it comes.
    I'm delighted to note that I'd found this "Marikana Truth" article to be less than truthful a full week earlier than Moneyweb

    BTW - Who is Arthur Mackay? At the time I also researched Arthur Mackay to establish his credentials - and for a stock analyst... well, I couldn't find an online profile that fitted.

    Five years ago today...

    Has anything improved?

    Reflecting back on the last five years, all I see is how abuse by those in power has increased.
    And critical voices have become less vocal.
    Including my own.

    Food for thought.
