  1. Yerrr that vote counted , so glad I voted , these people have been operating for years man lol jiki jiki post an election , police are shooting at criminals and winning , now they clamping down on this stuff , this is why you vote , this is all smoke , eventually they’ll come out

  2. Bro mzukisi you are the man brother, those people are pushed by poverty to go there and selling gold doesn't harm anyone, your government doesn't support Xrepo who fighting the really challege of drugs destroying the youth in the country, those women and guys standing there folding their arms doing nothing, they should escort X,-repo search operation for drugs and illegal fire arms are all over people are day and night not even one coming up with the solution to prevent the easy flow of ammunition from most from those that are standing there are the ones who provides ammunition to the criminals, hay into yalo wethu urhulumenti we ANC ebanjwe ngobhongwane

  3. I can't believe that some people don't see any wrong with this illegal mining. Instead, they want to justify illegal acts.

    Our society has normalized what is not normal. This Zama Zamas are not trapped. They went there intentionally, and they want the supply of food so that they can carry on with illegal activities.

    Why are our communities fall for this nonsense. This is madness.

  4. mzukisi i love your way of analyzing this thing of illegal mining because the one that is criminals are the blacks individual and worse those that are mining in the abandoned mines that were declared as there is no production any more but once our brothers start get something to support their families they are regarded criminals why as the government are not supporting this mining because people are able to make the living out of this old mines then to call them criminals

  5. These Zama zamas are playing mind games because they don't want the shafts to be closed, whether they get water, food and medication they wont come out. Continue wasting your time by entertaining them while they are busy digging down there.

  6. As usual, the man at the bottom/ on the ground are the ones being charged- but the real culprits here are the kingpins of the industry and the middlemen who make serious money

  7. Are these mines's thieves stealing from the owner of the mine or stealing from the country.? Why is the owner keeping quiet as if he is also getting something from these thieves.All the time I thought these people are trapped underground.Now when l really hear that they are making in and out in there .then why can't they go out and you close the mines.Who can leave a place where there is something to earn? No one. There must be something that is attractive for them in there. As I listen to this gentleman , some come out with plastics that are not empty showing that these people are living good and enjoying their activities ,( but playing sad and stupid in the eyes of the people) l also thought they are trapped underneath.No one can be at fault if these mines are closed, They have to decide if they want to face their deaths .Close the mines as here seems like they are playing a fool out of the police, military and the country. They enjoy sitting there because they are working..These people are working in there no doubt about it.They don't even seem to be starving because they go in and out, possiblely they bring and buy their food outside.(Very clever Tricks).
