Marikana – The Bapo Ba Mogale Traditional Council in Bapong, near Marikana in North West, must treat all villagers equally or face the wrath of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), the party said on Friday.

“The traditional council of Bapo must stop discriminating (against) people. We are told to be employed at Lonmin you need a letter from the council and the council refuse to give such letters to non-Setswana speaking people,” said Thulani Makhanye, the chairperson of the EFF in the Bojanala Region.

He was speaking to party supporters during a protest march at the Lonmin platinum mine in Marikana.

“The council must stop this discrimination or we will challenge them. I am not scared of them,” said Makhanye.
