Lonmin holds Marikana prayer session
A total of 37 Lonmin miners where shot and killed in clashes with police during a strike on August 13 and 16 in 2012.
Lonmin Executive Vice President for Communications, Lerato Molebatsi said Lonmin had moments of silence for all those who were killed on that tragic day.
"Every shaft every morning has had a moment of silence in all our operations. We also lit candles in memory of all the people who were killed," she said.
The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) will honour the slain miners in Marikana on Sunday.
Molebatsi said Lonmin executives have been invited to the koppie and she will personally be in attendance.
Opposition parties decried the lack of compensation for the families of the deceased miners and governments failure to hold anyone accountable for the killings during a snap debate in Parliament.
Molebatsi said immediately after the 2012 incident, Lonmin created an education fund for all the deceased miners' school going children.
"After what happened in 2012, we established an education fund to ensure all the deceased miners' children have access to education. Their mothers decided to come work for Lonmin to ensure they don't lose the income they got from their husbands", she said.
