It's not about poverty because those are illegally in the country.
Bodies there from long ago wen they started illegal mining,,, nobody will bring body up n call the police
Are you serious ? This man is now flipping the story on what South Africa know as a Zamba Zama war on our land by foreigners
Authi yewe e bolela masepa he's boss of those zama zamas you can tell
A beneficiary of criminal activities can be heard from his words
It is people like this on who are not patriotic and can defend any form of bullock
Another one to go to Prison π
I want this man arrested by 6pm today!
These foreigners are now even doing child slavery in our country. Enough is enough!
WE NEED MASS DEPORTATIONS NOW!
Blame that n.g.o that went to court to get a court order to stop any volunteers from helping the people in the mines
This guy is biased ..Why does e media give such people space he is basically covering e facts pushing a narrative π’
minors working hard, unlike ANC thieves in Zondo report who loot public money
He must be also inveztigated im sure hes one of the trafficers or exploiters
What shocking words coming from this man.saying poverty drove them into the mine to mine illegally.
In the first place they are undocumented foreign nationals.They have no rights to be be here.Ilkegal mining is not the solution to uneployment and poverty.
High corruption and much lies!!!!
Why isn't there anyone going to court to apply for the permission to go underground to rescue the zama zamas themselves? Everyday we hear a new voice whom most sound like they are beneficiaries and trying all by means to protect their interests. where was this one all along? Suspicious
Did the parents report their children as missing in their respective Countries or they themselves allowed them to be recruited by illegal mining kingpins?, Are the parents or relatives involved in child trafficking.
They bosses there
Poverty in the country? These are foreigners, what are they doing in a poverty stricken country?
He must be one of those who gets money from these guys underground
He's just sitting like myself here and telling lies and what he's actually defending. Everything he says he heard and please don't interview this guy and others like him. We are not creche children
Such people as just time wasters to even interview them and rather show us other important local news
Police go and arrest those so called community leaders they know what's happening there its clearly human trafficking arrest those leaders cause those were off duty zama zamas who knows that down there young girls are kept down there against their own will being raped there
Kanti what do South African intelligence agencies do? This is transnational child exploitation and trafficking.
