Suspended Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega will face criminal charges in relation to the killing of miners in Marikana in 2012.

Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) has charged Phiyega and former North West police commissioner together with two other officials.

IPID was briefing members of  parliament on Tuesday on the implementation of the Farlam Commission of Inquiry’s recommendations.

The commission has recommended that there be a full investigation against Phiyega and require that she be charged with criminal liability along with other police officials who were involved in the Marikana shooting which left 37 miners dead.
