Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Durban – The SAPS has paid out over R176 million to the families of the 34 mineworkers killed in the Marikana tragedy in 2012.<\/p>\n

Police Minister Bheki Cele made the announcement on Monday morning during the release of a report by a panel of experts tasked with looking into policing and crowd management as part of the recommendations made by the Farlam Commission.<\/p>\n

Cele said that R18m-worth of civil claims were yet to be finalised.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis mass shooting of 34 mineworkers has certainly forced the SAPS to correct where it went wrong,\u201d Cele said.<\/p>\n

The Marikana Commission of Inquiry, chaired by retired Judge Ian Farlam, looked into the day\u2019s events and presented a report with findings and recommendations.<\/p>\n

A panel of experts was then appointed by the Cabinet in 2016, steered by the late Judge David Sakelene Vusimuzi Ntshangase.<\/p>\n

The panel sought to analyse the recommendations in line with the strategic imperatives of the National Development Plan.<\/p>\n

The panel\u2019s terms of reference included strategy and policy, public order policing processes and procedures, professionalisation and demilitarisation of the police, and accountability and transparency in all SAPS operations.<\/p>\n

The panel put forward a detailed programme for the professionalisation of the SAPS for reforms in crowd management.<\/p>\n

The review of the SAPS code of conduct, and issues of discipline, training and recruitment, as well as competency, are also contained in the panel\u2019s findings.<\/p>\n

In addition, the panel sought to give advice on the approaches and possible policy interventions in this regard.<\/p>\n

All this is contained in the 596-page report titled \u201cPolicing and Crowd Management\u201d, which is available in full on the SAPS website.<\/p>\n
