A group of families in Marikana, in the North West, is calling on the government to finalize its land claim soon.
Part of the land they are claiming includes the former Lonmin-owned platinum mine.
The claim for Middlekraal – which includes the mine operations and the koppie where 34 workers were massacred by police – has been stalled since 2017.
The claimants say the government’s plans to amend the constitution to expropriate land are useless.
The government says the claim was lodged in 2014 and will only be processed once the backlogs on claims made in 1998 are finalized.
