Illegal mining will never stop until the syndicates and kingpins are arrested. Dpt of Minerals together with law enforcement agencies must have investigations focused solely on the syndicates that drive illegal mining.

Illegal mining has persisted for so long largely because the syndicates, made up of politicians, mining bosses, gvt officials etc, remain untouched & allowed to operate with impunity. We will continue advocating for solutions that deal with the main drivers of illegal mining in SA.

The man in this video claims that zama-zama's (illegal miners) kidnap girls as young as 16 years of age, smuggle them underground, rape them, murder them & then bury them down there. We need the police & soldiers to investigate these allegations in depth, we need to know who the big bosses are, and to find the politicians, police & big mining bosses who are also involved in the illegal mining syndicates.

Decoding Aravallis' Controversy: Aravallis will not die because of the Supreme Court, they are already dying because of illegal mining. B/w 1975 and 2019, 8% of the Aravalli hills vanished due to illegal mining, and studies warn this could rise to 22% by 2059. 1/4th of Rajasthan’s Aravalli hills have already disappeared. These are documented facts. Not just that, Illegal mining has also taken human lives. In July 2022, DSP Surender Singh was killed on duty when a truck crushed him while he was investigating illegal stone mining in Nuh. This is the real cost of unregulated, mafia-driven mining! SC's latest order has not deregulated mining. It has frozen new leases, ordered scientific mapping, and tightened control to stop illegal mining. So, it's very important to understand the judgment, to protect the Aravallis. And always read a thing in entirety before you panic!

Some Retired Military Generals Are Involved in Illegal Mining - Oshiomhole Those involved in illegal mining use helicopters to transport gold and make billions from our resources overseas. They also procure arms to secure the foreigners they deploy to carry out this mining. On occasion, they use these weapons to commit banditry and kidnapping. The executive must deploy the same force used against oil bunkering to combat illegal mining. Sen. Adam Oshiomhole, APC, Edo North

South African police have arrested about 190 illegal miners, including four Zimbabweans, during a massive joint security crackdown at the Losberg section of the Kloof Mine near Westonaria, Gauteng. Those arrested included 107 Lesotho nationals (Basotho), 56 Mozambicans and four Zimbabweans. During the operation, police confiscated an assortment of illegal mining equipment and weapons at the site. Illegal mining in South Africa, often carried out by "zama zamas", drains billions from the economy annually and costs the sector tens of billions in lost revenue. Driven by high unemployment and organised syndicates, this crisis fuels massive state revenue losses in unpaid taxes, severely threatens human safety, fuels regional crime, and causes devastating environmental damage. The industry is frequently controlled by heavily armed, transnational syndicates. This leads to territorial warfare, human trafficking, forced labour, and elevated rates of murder and gender-based violence in affected communities. Many miners involved are undocumented foreign nationals subjected to dangerous and inhumane conditions.

🚨 I HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS!! During my tenure as Executive Mayor of Joburg, I took on the counterfeit goods syndicates that had turned parts of the city into lawless zones. Since then, successive mayors have failed to maintain law and order, allowing illegal trade and criminal syndicates to regain their foothold. City of Joburg deserves decisive leadership that enforces the law without fear or favour. I did it Before, I Can Do it Again!! #OperationFixJoburg
