The community leaders said, their community members, relatives and friends are underground due to high unemployment rate in SA. They didn't mention children illegally brought to SA. Those community leaders must tell SA, who brought the children and why they allow such crime to happen? This is really sad.

[@AngelMatlombe]

I blame our border police and customs. Bribes bribes bribes.

[@GlenroseMakgorogo]

Blame ANC

[@Vasbyt6540]

There is no border😂😂

[@revelationmalux3515]

[@MichaelVumile-jb3lb]

Why are the governments reps of Lesotho ,Zombanwe and Mozambique not visiting the mine and talk to their people to come out of the mine?

[@revelationmalux3515]

They don't entertain nonsense, after all ANC is the one responsible for this not Zimbabwe or Lesotho etc. If ANC had closed borders & made sure law is followed none of these things would be happening. So what do you want Zimbabwe & Lesotho to say or do? They won't do that

[@gogolesh]

You feed until you are broke by these foreigners going to SA are they reported missing in their countries

[@tho88315]

They will reduce their ages in order to evade being arrested.
