Guys, can you see the trend! See how these media house jump whenever ‘foreign nationals’ require government assistance🤔 How long did it take them to report on South Africans dying bcos of food poisoning? We’re not idiots!

Throw some hand grenades there ,and seal the hole

Burn them out.

Illegal mining is what it is, Illegal. Firstly, mining must benefit South Africans only. Foreigners must be deported

Most of illegal miners are not from this country they might also be illegal in this country so we can't be looking for solutions on that, it's a crime.

The only solution to illegal mining are to get government workers to do what they get paid for. Being paid the taxpayers and not adding value makes u also a criminal.

Allow Africans to mine their dumps. Provide emergency services and enforce tax payments on them.

Mass deportation 👍

Enforcement of property rights is an obvious one to me. We can’t hv illegal miners operating parallel to employed miners in shafts clearly owned by corporations. We also should implement the issuance of artisan mining licences for those old & abandoned mines. A matter the administration has stepped away from with disastrous consequences. They hv also stopped enforcing the rehabilitation clause for exiting and exited corporations. Then deal with transgressions on immigration, financial flows, urban planning, etc. The state has neglected its obligations on managing mining and now we all hv to deal with the fall out and find fault with one another instead of them- they hv it really nice abo GNU in the Dept of Mineral resources

A mining expert once explained that when the mining companies close down the mines, they don't actually close the shafts as required by law, and that's how zama zamas gain access
