How many are still alive? What I know is that counting from the back, the third from the right, is my late father.
Were the men miners? Were the women cleaners? Cooks and the like? How many died of occupational lung diseases? How many received their pension? How many are still waiting? How was the mine compound living conditions? What are they willing to share about apartheid conditions?
Why is it that their Governments are not helping? Their Chiefs? We are told, together with mining companies, it was chiefs and governments who profited from their labour.
Why the deafening silence?
