  1. Yes they are illegal miners but they also human beings to deny help to get them out. Plz send help then deal with them according to the law it's sad to see this happening and nobody is doing anything but thanks to the community members who r trying to help God bless u come on let's not be so hard and cruel who would Risk their if they don't eed we not condoning wat they doing but two wrongs don't make a right this is really not good

  2. Does it mean that we have more than 4000 illegal foreigners underground, now the court says, the government must feed them and give them fist class treatment, criminals are rewarded in south Africa that is why we have a high rate of criminality , criminaks have more rights

  3. How did u come up with that number, who counted them? Look at what south African government did to its self, foreigners came illegally committed crimes, now they are giving you heart attack. Next they will ask to be compaceted

  4. I believe this is abandoned mine, unfortunately, the laws must guide us in this, like mine health and safety act, Capital or mining sector must assist, I dont think the goverment departments have the special skills to assist, look dangerours, but food and water must be given to save lifes after that laws can be efeffected

  5. You cannot take a bunch of lions out of a cage. Niel, you obviously have little experience of security on mines. You NEVER send people into a cage of Illigals. If they dont want to come up gthats their problem. Sit it out but DONT go down, you will kill innocent people albeit the Police. fighting with the good faction of the ANC will just screw us up more and Zille needs to know this also. Hold them accountable, Audit and prove their wrong doings and takwe them to court if you have the evidence to back it but dont fight, fight fight, because we know our fate and if you want us to look like the DRC, Sierra Leone and and and then youre just giving the ammunition to play the race and blame card again.

  6. CNN why are you promoting lawlessness. These criminals have been given an opportunity to resurface and they chose not to come out. Nobody is trapped – get your facts straight. South Africa has laws for the extraction of minerals. Most of these people they come to South Africa illegally, they are heavily armed. Young Women were raped by Zama Zamas almost two years ago in Krugersdorp and justice has never been served. Infrastructure is damaged by these illegal activities. Their Kingpins are living a lavish lifestyle

  7. Matshidiso is a beneficiary and not South African. They came here to steal and Plunder so let them sort their problems. What people ntsebe is talking nonsense how do you blame Government for people who want to kill themselves. The proceeds of their illegal mining do they help Khuma or Stilfontein. Maybe ntsebe is a beneficiary if not please shut up you don't need further publicity your well-known by majority of South Africans.

  8. We are being led by leaders who fail to use commonsense that ofcourse is never common to everyone. The minister in the President failed to use common sense before her comments. Smoking people in never a solution. If in the 30 years that they have been to power they held to account the mine owners to close those mines, none of this could have happened. Arresting mastermind could also have assisted.

  9. Why have the "miners" underground themselves not assisted in the retrieving of those decomposing bodies back to the surface?

    The operative word here is "out" and not under. To compare this to the Gaza situation is very telling of the intention of these community leaders.

    Also, in the wake of thiese mines not operating, what have these community leaders done in the past years to find legal ways to get these mines operational at a small scale, find investment and formalize this?

  10. Yes… government must not assist them in anyway. They must come out as they are unlawfully occipying the mines. What they have done is illegal and govt cannot legitimise illegality.

  11. This guy Botman he is attention seeker maybe they get kickbacks. This is a country of laws we are governed by laws people can't do as they please and expect to be exempted for their crime commission. Genocide my foot

  12. The Zimbabwean woman who thinks South African government owes them the retrieval of their brothersπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Hayi nina.

    The locals can go in and help their people themselves, it’s them who are benefiting from what they’re doing anywayπŸ˜…
