Johannesburg - President Jacob Zuma on Sunday declared a week of national mourning in the wake of the deadly violence at a platinum mine where police gunned down 34 striking workers.
"The nation is in shock and in pain. We must this week reflect on the sanctity of human life and the right to life as enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic," said Zuma three days after the tragedy.
