Illegal Mining | Relatives of suspected zama zamas in N West concerned about the miners’ survival



Some of the suspected illegal miners who were arrested in the North West last week are expected to appear in the Stilfontein Magistrate’s Court near Klerksdorp today.

Scores more have resurfaced from the Margaret shaft in Stilfontein after police intensified their operations there.

About 600 suspected illegal miners resurfaced by yesterday evening.

This after police blocked routes used to deliver necessities including food.

  1. They are illegal and shouldn't be here. Don't forget the south africans are the ones that are suffering with high inflation because of these illegals this economy can't carry the rest of Africa ….

  2. For some of you in the comments section, itโ€™s easy to criticise because you are well-off. Many people are suffering out there with no jobs and no hope for tomorrow. Being Zamazamas keeps them from terrorising the community and puts bread on their families tables. The ANC government has failed the people of South Africa on all fronts. The blame for whatever happens in this country lies squarely on the ANCโ€™s doorstep. Stop voting the ANC. South Africa deserves far much better than the ANC.

  3. So this lady tells us that her brother gets medication underground, so we have to accept the nonsense of unlawfulness to carry on? Haikhona South Africans, haikhona! We are being asked to be compassionate abut criminality?

  4. So Thandeka is an accomplish of illegal mining. Her brother told her, he was going to comit a crime i.e illegal mining. Thandeka did not report her brother to law enforcement, now Thandeka expect law enforcement, to get her criminal brother from where ever he is. Thandeka knows where her brother is, why Thandeka doesn't use her resources and get her brother back.

    Thandeka should be arrested for not reporting the crime, she was aware of.

  5. Are these people exactly who they say they are? Is the man in ANC regalia using it as disguise? These people are probably part of the zama zama enterprise, probably the ones who supply the underground team with food and other luxuries. A long yarn that this lady is spinning.

  6. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚OH the clamp down of illegal mining, today they concerned???? Who told them not to surface???? Stealing diamonds is not a crime????๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚Where is their countries govt, ask them?????

  7. How does she know that he is underground but has never even tried to blow the whistle??
    So she is a beneficiary?? Now the business is down. U did not report this but now u want government's involvement awu awu hipocrite
