I’ve come to understand the deeper story behind this situation. These are ordinary South Africans, navigating harsh socio-economic conditions with no other means to make ends meet. Instead of rushing to judgment, we must recognize that this is the reality of South Africa—a country still struggling under the weight of immense inequality and systemic challenges.
These men are doing their best to survive and prevent poverty amidst unbearable pressure. It pains me to admit that I didn’t see this sooner, instead labeling them as 'criminals.' This is a stark reminder for us all to approach such situations with greater understanding, compassion, and humility. Simply passing the issue to the defense or police ministry as a quick fix is a desperate and shortsighted approach. We need to address the root causes to create lasting change.
This journalist must be given her own show 🎉🎉🎉🎉 mbokodo
🗣️🎙️The government want to sell the land😢😢😢
We also need the translation in English please.
There are no rescue effort by the Police! Who is rescuing them?
Can someone help me understand who these zama zamas working for if they working for themselves where is the market

The contrast between Hood and Town is horrific.
People living on top of gold yet severely poverty stricken. You wouldn't believe this is one of the richest towns in SA.
Disgraceful governance as always.
Brilliant journalism.
Is this man also a foreigner? Its time South Africans accept that crime knows no tribe, nationality or race. all along we were made to believe that foreigners are the ones trapped in the mine
Wow come illegally to South Africa, involve yourself in illegal criminal activities and get sympathy and assistance when things go wrong. 👍
So his saying it because of the operation that things went left for them ? Who was sending food down there ? This needs to be investigated
If they don't want to come up from underground – how can it be a rescue 😢
SABC news is the best I must say
Why say suspected when they are illegal.Close those mines ones and of all.Who is the gold buyer,surely some politicians.
Due diligence and compliance… eish!
Where are the people who were benefiting from this illegal mining?
Am glad South Africans are beginning to see value in land
This lady is absolutely brilliant, excellent interview skills . Cameraman needs to be trained again, terrible camera angles, in some cases very uncomfortable.
Unless i dnt understand english IS THIS A RESCUE MISSION? ANOTHER BAD BAD REPORTING
Of course it's illegal but the most important thing now is to rescue the lifes of people then the law would take its course once all done…
We also need to stop claiming politicians being involved and forget about how corrupt and connected people who are not black are! Your DA Beers and them….
What happens when these criminals get out? Especially foreign nationals, are they going to be deported or will they be housed by our jails and benefit from our tax monies after exploiting our resources? Will deportation guarantee prison time in their countries? Because they definitely will come back illegally to our country.
The stopping of food was to get you guys out why did you continue to stay ?
The government is committing crime
Why is he not arrested ? Poverty kodwa is the biggest enemy the government needs to ensure job opportunities are available to everyone. People find themselves in these situations.
