President Jacob Zuma has, in terms of section 1 of the Commissions Act, 1947, amended the Terms of Reference of the Commission of Inquiry into the tragic incidents at or near the area commonly known as the Marikana Mine, in Rustenburg, in the North West Province, South Africa, on or about Saturday 11 August to Thursday 16 August 2012, by extending, with effect from 31 July 2014, the term of the Commission to 30 September 2014.
The Commission was expected to complete its investigation on 31 July 2014 as proclaimed by the President in April this year.
After engagement between the President, the Chairperson of the Commission and the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services, it became evident that the Commission would not be able to complete its investigation by 31 July 2014, hence the extension of the term of the Commission.
