ElaboHlanga libuze abafundi balo ukuthi ngabe igama iMarikana kanjalo nosuku lomhla zili-16 kuNcwaba kusho ukuthini, imibono ibiyehlukahlukene.
UMnu uBhekisisa Mbatha uthe mayelana nalolu suku: “Ngizizwa ngifikelwa umunyu nosizi ngegazi labantu boHlanga elaphalala ngenxa yobudedengu bukaHulumeni ozibiza ngowentando yeningi. Kodwa-ke noma kunjalo nginenkolelo yokuthi igazi lomuntu liyakhuluma. Nelalaba bantu liyokhuluma. ORamaphosa nabangani bakhe abamhlophe bayophendula ngelinye ilanga.” Kanti uMnu uBhedeshani Nkambule yena uthi, lolu suku lusho lukhulu kuye. “Lolu suku lusho ukuhlazeka kwe-ANC ihlazwa nguMnu uNathi Mthethwa noMnu uCyril Ramaphosa abachithe igazi labasebenzi baseMarikana baqede babheca uKhomishana uRiah Piega ngobubende inyama engayidlanga. NokaBotha uHulumeni wayenonya kodwa okaZuma ufike wedlulela,” kuphetha uNkambule.
UMnu uSimphiwe Mkhwanazi yena ephawula ngosuku: “Ngikulumbanisa nokwehluleka kwamaphoyisa ukuphenya babophe abantu ababulala abantu abalishumi bokuqala. Ngikulumbanisa nesihluku sikaHulumeni ka-ANC esifana ncamashi futhi nangaphezu kukaHulumeni wamaBhunu. Ngikulumbanisa nobuphixiphixi babaholi bakaKhongolose okuyibona abazuza ngokufa kwabantu eMarikana. Ngikulumbanisa noHulumeni okhohlakele ongenandaba nenhlupheko yowoHlanga.”
Kanti uMnu uDumisani Teddy yena uthe: “Lolu suku alusho lutho kimina ngoba laba bantu badlala inyanga nentelezi. Babeqondeni behlasela amaphoyisa? Lesi kwaba yisifundo kulabo abakholelwa emithini ngoba isibhamu siyabulala. Kunjalo nje njalo singakhohlwa ukuthi nawo amaphoyisa alahlekelwa ozakwabo nami ngangiyolahla phansi ngenhlamvu kunokufa ngihlomile.”
NoMnu uNtokozo Zungu uhambe kulawo magama: “Mina nje lolu suku aluchazi lutho kimi ngoba vele laba bantu abafayo yibona abaqala ukubulala amaphoyisa baphinda futhi bahlasela amaphoyisa manje kwakufunakala enze njani amaphoyisa, nawo anemindeni. Badlala inyanga mbumbulu.”
UMnu uRonie Ronald yena uthe lolu suku: “Lusho ukuhlonyekiswa kwabantu belambile. Bedlala osopolitiki abafufusayo oMathunjwa noMalema. Kanye nomhlola wesangoma esifufusayo sithi ababulale ozakwabo abangatelekile kwenziwe ngabo umuthi entabeni.”
