These are “illegal mining” visuals I captured earlier today while travelling to a location I can’t disclose just yet. Along the route, particularly around and beyond Konongo, we came across several pockets of surface mining activity happening remarkably close to the highway and surrounding communities. Whether these operations are...

John Mahama is the one supervising them since he promised to give them immunity to continue with the destruction of our land and water bodies. Ɔman no saa na, ayɛ wai.

This is just beside the main Accra-Kumasi road at Konongo, less than 5mins drive from the Konongo Lorry Station...anyone who uses that road during daytime sees it.

The irony is that what the Ghanaians are protesting about is not 10% of the same environmental catastrophe that is happening in Nigeria (illegal surface mining). I just screen recorded the path of the Niger River from Google Earth. Notice how it starts off clear in Niger Republic, then starts to yellow after it enters Nigeria, then becomes sand brown once it gets to Kainji (major illegal mining hub), then gets silted up to the point of having multiple sand islands between Lokoja and Onitsha. Look at the same comparison of the Benue River and how it is clear in Cameroon, then turns brown once it flows into Nigeria and passes through the multiple illegal mining areas in Nigeria's northeast. What you are looking at is a live map from space showing how over 70 million Nigerians whose water, food or livelihood come from these rivers and their surrounding water tables are being poisoned by lead, arsenic and other toxic runoff materials from illegal mining. What you are also looking at is a map that shows the riverbeds of Nigeria's 2 inland water lifelines silting up and becoming shallower, leading to dam failure and flooding in the surrounding estuaries - something that the idiots in Abuja are paid $1,000 by foreign NGOs to misreport as "Climate Change" by the same interests benefitting from unregistered mining of all kinds going on in Nigeria. What you are also looking at is a map that shows how the yellow or brown spots in the rivers' course through the North and Middle Belt match remarkably well with spots where genocidal incidents that drove communities off their land permanently were recorded. Anyway since I'm now Comrade Hundeyinovich of the Russian FSB, Twitter will ensure that only about 9 people see this so...

#sapsHQ The National Commissioner of the SAPS, General Fannie Masemola has stated that #IlegalMining in Bapong will not be allowed to continue, as the lives and livelihoods of our communities are at risk. General Masemola received a full briefing from the NATJOINTS on possible intervention measures that can be immediately implemented. The National Commissioner stated that immediate intervention measures will be implemented such as: ▶ we are enhancing and heightening our crime combating operations to deal decisively with these illegal mining activities… ▶we are deploying more police officers on the ground such as crime intelligence officers, members of the hawks, detectives and tactical units to prevent and combat these illegal mining activities. ▶ We have also established an integrated and multidisciplinary intervention team within the PROVJOINTS AND NATJOINTS to ensure implementation and enforcement of our country’s laws. What is currently happening here, is illegal and detrimental to the environment, including water sources and most importantly, poses a health and imminent safety risk for our communities. This is theft of minerals which belongs to all South Africans and which legally done can contribute to economic growth, community development and decent jobs in the area. It’s important to highlight that only the DMPR can legally issue a permit or license for any mining activity. So anyone who is not in possession of a permit from the DMRE to mine, is committing a crime. ▶This intervention team will include officials from various departments led by SAPS inclusive of the Department of minerals and petroleum resources, department of water and sanitation, the department of forestry fisheries and the environment, the department of home affairs, the department of justice and constitutional development and others. This team has already hit the ground running and will continue to work to stabilise and normalise this area through all possible means to stop these illegal activities. ▶Daily operations will be monitored on a weekly basis while we intensify and sharpen our long term plans to ensure a lasting solution to these illegal acts. ▶Daily operations will include compliance inspections and disruptive operations together with DMPRE at identified sites for illegal mining activities… ▶ We are continuing with our disruptive operations and where necessary we will continue to effect the necessary arrests and conduct search and seizure operations of tools and resources that are being used to conduct these illegal mining activities. ▶we remain committed to working closely with our communities and key stakeholders to put a stop to these illegal and dangerous activities… ▶I will be receiving a weekly report on progress made in dealing decisively with this challenge… ▶ and we will find anyone who is behind these illegal operations and they will answer to crimes committed ▶we urge our communities to cooperate fully with our law enforcement officers and to refuse to be used by these criminal elements.
