  1. A lie. There's no high unemployment that causes illegal mining. You can offer those criminals solid jobs, they would still refuse because, they are making a lof of money as illegal miners. They get cash without paying tax. Those filthy looking thugs are well off way better than our so called middle class. If you don't know, ask we will tell you.

  2. About time to stop baming everything on things that people do that are criminal. The ANC govt was and still is grossly negligent in its duties to protect the citicens from external and internal threats to their security. The PEOPLE will do whatever they are allowed to do without policing to keep order.
    IF ANC did their jobs effectively and STOPPED trying to control people in their everyday lives and being so corrupt, there would be plenty of jobs, people would be properly educated and employable. The PEOPLE voted their own poverty on for 30 years. and still look at ANC to get them out of trouble.
    These thieves stealing SOUTH AFRICAN wealth or the owners of the mine's wealth outside of the legitimate system are criminal. They do not contribute to the tax base, and are a threat to everyone around their activities. Why have the police ignored these?
    Time to call a spade for what it is: these people are a manifestation of ANC incompetence and neglect of South AFrica and South Africans. I do not believe they know how to govern at all.
    Poverty and corruption will remain while people will still vote for ANC and their useless counterparts. without strong God-fearing men ad women in leadership, watch more and more become jobless and unemployable.

  3. No that's not true, all those people are the foreigner, so how can they blame unemployment rate in our country, they're here illegally and they decided to go down there illegally,so now they need help from our government to use our resources to get them out,no,no,they must face their music in there..they choose to be there soo๐Ÿ˜Š

  4. So the root cause is Government not creating jobs. LOL How about staying out of the bedroom were you create babies knowing full well you won"t be able to provide them with a future as you can not even create a future for yourself.

  5. high unemployment is not the only reason as to why the illegal mining is present but that goes the same for the illegal foreigners not meant to be in our country and have been allowed because of the propaganda of the anc and eff and other political parties used people from neighboring countries to come into our country and take our resources and give them the vote to keep the corrupt officials in power, and that goes for the previous 4 presidents as well all the way to every department possible that is used for their schemes for money, land animaletc of corrupt and the amount of syndicates prevalent is because the idiot beki cele who couldn't execute or fill the position of police minister and his incompetence and his people in the party is main factor as to why the country has been ruined only for the people who honestly wants peace and prosperity in all honesty are the ones cleaning after all the shit after the retarded ones who clearly messed up our economy and still haven't seen one asshole been serving behind bars for 30 plus years minimum without any possibility of early parole to this very day

  6. this is part of how deep the rabbit hole is. The ANC political and econimical policies failed. The 33% unemployment is a cuss. In reality it exceeds 33%
    We need change the ANC is a curse to the country. The people of South Africa deserves dignity. We need Jobs. How quick they created jobs for the incoming GNU officials it was a matter of days.

  7. OH PLEASE! I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR A JOB AND DO NOT GET, NOW FOR 2 YEARS ALREADY, BUT I DO NOT STEAL OR DO ILEGAL STUFF FOR MONEY. STOP MAKING EXCUSES, I GETTING SO SICK AND TIRED FOR YOUR SENSELESS EXCUSES TO STEAL, TO MURDER AND ILEGAL BEHAVIOUR!

  8. Really? Unemployment is the cause…. What caused some of them to r@pe women? Wives not around? They are waiting back in other African countries? Why are they carrying automatic weapons? Doesn't that count as armed robbery?

  9. Unemployment is not the case in this regard. I'm from kanana township and can confirm more than 90% of illegal miners are illegal immigrants especially from Lesotho and they terrorise our community. Just last night i heard more than 30 gunshots near my place, even though unemployment is the issue in the area, however, is the the case in this issue. In the past illegal immigrants from lesotho and other regions came to kanana and worked in construction as a mean of survival and they were accepted in the community, however recently, those illegal immigrants have resorted to illegal mining and crime instead of construction and other jobs. Life has become even more dangerous since the arrival of zama zamas, and i am fully behind operation vala mkhoti, those criminals should be arrested or face the consequences of illegal behaviour and terrorising the community of kanana in the name of justice, amen.
