These 78 workers were murdered by the ANC government. Its barbarous actions are a devastating indictment of bourgeois nationalism and all the forces who have backed the ANC historically, including the South African Communist Party and Congress of South African Trade Unions.

In a police crackdown at an illegal gold mine in Stilfontein, South Africa, 78 people died and hundreds were rescued. The GIWUSA labour union has condemned the state's actions as a massacre, while survivors face charges of illegal activity.

One hundred and eighteen illegal miners have been extracted from the Stilfontein mine in South Africa on Monday and Tuesday as part of a rescue operation, of which 36 were certified as dead, police said in a statement on Tuesday.
