  1. So the media wants government to send rescuers to help peaple who are heavily armed with AK47s, peaple who outnumber the police in their thousands, peaple who are hundreds of kilometers underground in the dark?? Our media houses are seriously delusional and desperate for news. No one in their right mind is going to risk getting shot or lost down there. These journalists themselves are scared to go down for a story but they expect our parents in blue to go down there and die.

  2. Nothing to do with the Government. These are thieves, illegal miners, why should we, the taxpayers, pay for them. Some of them were miners, it's all they know so it justifies them stealing? Like the community who is upset because their illegally connected water was cut off, without prior notice. So, if I lost my job at the Supermarket I am entitled to shoplift? Next thing criminals will require police to notify them before they arrest them. They are armed and dangerous, why should a police officer risk his life because they chose to go underground.

  3. Government stance is correct on this matter. Also how many of these illegal miners are illegal foreigners. How did the get in there in the first place. Let those who sympathise with them help them.
