The South African correspondent David McKenzie has jetted back to South Africa to report for CNN International (DStv 401) on the aftermath of this past Thursday's Lonmin mine massacre.
The experienced (and very tall in real-life) David McKenzie is actually based in Nairobi, Kenya but is back on home soil as he reported from Rustenburg, South Africa and the third largest platinum mine in the world.
His lead in gives a clue as to why: "Just days after the deadliest day of protest here in South Africa since the end of apartheid and which really shocked this nation ..."
Meanwhile Nkepile Mabuse, CNN International's correspondent based in Johannesburg, South Africa and who has been covering the Lonmin masssacre since this weekend tried to speak to the axed ANC youth leader Julius Malema live on CNN International before he addressed the miners. His bodyguard slapped her in the face.
