Many families of miners caught up in violence at a platinum mine in South Africa are unaware of their fate, two days after 34 people were killed when police opened fire at striking workers.
Angry relatives say the authorities have not produced a list of the dead.
At least 78 people were also injured and more than 200 people arrested.
Meanwhile, thousands of the miners have cheered on controversial youth leader Julius Malema who called for the president to resign over the clashes.
On Friday, President Jacob Zuma visited the area – about 100km (60 miles) north-west of Johannesburg – and announced an inquiry into the violence, calling the deaths there “tragic”. (BBC)
