  1. the government he must ligalise those mining for the people to benefit no just invested, this land is for God who give to us people to benefit, is how politician who benefit for its not the people of South Africa, remember makikana is the same people who kill how brother for the are benefit

  2. The Government treat illegal activities as humain, while those purpotrators are not being humain themselves…..

    Treat those purpotrators as criminals and protect the law obiding, tax paying citizens against those illegal "people"!!!!!

    The moment that you as an individual make the decision to do illegal activities that is against the constitution of our country; YOU FORFIT YOUR RIGHTS of being treated according to the constitutional rights of the Soust African constitution to protect South African citizens! DEPORT the illegal immegrants to their own foreign countries and close our borderlines to such persons and deal with such persons accordingly to reduce crime and poverty in our beautiful country!

  3. This is a legacy of apartheid. If it’s going to benefit anyone – it should benefit poor South Africans. What needs to be done in terms of policy and enforcement and sales in order for this to happen? Who should be paying for all of that process and enforcement???? 🤔🤔

  4. You cannot legalise illegal activities or abandoned mines, then it becomes a security and safety problem belonging to the Governemnt. If anything, cement up all the old mines as part of the mine closure programme. That could stop or prevent illegal activities.

  5. So a mine is closed, and people still go in. Adult human beings who make choices and those choices have consequences. I wouldn't risk the lives of police or firemen. Also,,,, the ANC has been in power for what? 30 years and the poverty of South Africans grow and grow. Black South Africans will NEVER wake up, next election they'll vote ANC again. This country needs a Trump.

  6. Please balance me out here, sometime ago communities in Zama Zama's areas were seeking protection from government/police/military as they were terrorized by Zama Zama's. Now community is all love and compassion, prepared to risk it all to volunteer to rescue the Zama Zama's. I do not understand, what is going on here, now it's the police/government that is a problem, they are not doing enough to rescue the illegal guys who stuck underground in the act of committing a crime. Lets say if it wsa cha-in transit guys who were trapped in the cash van with a bomb that will explode in 2hours, one of them is deceased, others are dehydrated, whould communities go the extra mile to volunteer to rescue them ? Would there be pressure on police/government to rescue them ? Would there be love and compassion for them as they are doing what they are doing because of poverty? COMMON DENOMIATOR is both groups are committing crimes, with guns, prepared to kill anyone who tries to stop them.

    Why are they RESISTING ARREST by not coming out? Is it the government/police fault that they suffer due to their choice of not coming out, it cannot be.

    We cannot legitimize criminality using situational ethics (using Constitution and Ubuntu) as that will be the end of SA Republic

    Kindly listen to the Police General who is highlighting the crimanility of the Zama Zama, This is not theory but facts from law enforcement
