(MARIKANA, South Africa) ? Grieving families are mourning at memorial services for 34 striking miners killed by police as a nation in shock asks who gave the orders and who must be blamed.
The relative of one those killed in last week?s shootings said Thursday that he wants to see some arrests.
Ubuntu Akumelisine told the AP: ?If it were me I?d want everyone who was involved in this incident including the mine managers to be arrested, the whole lot of them, because a person?s life is not worth money.?
Memorial services are being held Thursday across the country for South Africans to honor all those killed violently in a country with one of the world?s highest murder and rape rates.
