The shooting to death of three Lindeners during the July 18, 2012 protests against the then government’s proposed electricity hike for the mining town will remain forever etched in the memory of loved ones and fellow demonstrators.
Ivan Lewis, 46, of Wismar Housing Scheme; Ron Somerset, 18, of Amelia’s Ward and Shemroy Bouyea, 24, of Wisroc Housing Scheme, who was described as mentally-challenged, were shot and killed by police while they protested at the Wismar/Mackenzie Bridge.
