Fifteen thousand people from all provinces are packed in buses headed to Marikana on Wednesday to commemorate the 11th anniversary of the brutal killing of mineworkers in 2012.
Thirty-four miners were gunned down by police after a six-month-long strike demanding higher wages.
The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) has erected a stage at the koppie where the event will take place.
The union said that for the first time they had invited the CEO of Sibanye-Stillwater to attend the commemoration.
Sibanye-Stillwater bought the operations from Lonmin after the massacre.
A wreath-laying ceremony will take place at the end of the programme at 4 pm.
