The linked article has a video of the actual shooting from someone standing just behind the police, it certainly shows some of the strikers charging at them before they open fire but contains no confirmation that they were armed.

No shareholders needs trump workers lives

I don't know why the police just didn't stand there and let the missiles hit them and let the strikers stab them. What a bunch of fascists huh?

A report on channel 4 tonight showed a police man picking up a gun after the shootings from one of the strikers.

The above is from your own link but of course you just chose to ignore the petrol bombs/grenades and the bit about refusing to drop the machetes. I am sure of course that in the eyes of the left coming armed to a "peaceful" strike is perfectly acceptable.

Here are some pics of these peaceful striking miners.
At least two have machetes, and the rest have clubs and spears.

I suppose its a cultural thing.

Of course. 3000 white farmers murdered since 94'.

White South africans are on the genocide watchlist now.

Since the west has declared monocultural homelands to be against the NWO, they havent a chance.

Worst thing that ever happened , taking the whip off the back of the kaffir.
The savagery of the blacks there is limitless, especially towards the whites and coloureds.
