Social justice activist organisation Amandla.Mobi and Gun Free SA are deeply disappointed that the Farlam Commission of Enquiry’s report into the 2012 Marikana massacre makes no recommendation to prohibit R-5 rifles – the assault weapon used by police to kill 34 miners – in Public Order Policing.

STATEMENT: Marikana’s Farlam commission fails to save lives by banning R-5s in crowd control
