FARLAM COMMISSION

South African Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, left, is seen arriving at the Farlam Commission of Inquiry, in Centurion, outside Pretoria, on August 11, where the Marikana killings, caused by police opening fire on striking miners at Lonmin’s platinum mine near Rustenburg, are being probed. Ramaphosa was a shareholder and nonexecutive director on Lonmin’s board at the time. Accusations that the Deputy President faced at the commission were unlikely to affect his political career and Presidential aspirations, the Mail & Guardian reported.
