Challenges faced by rescuers in Stilfontein

[@msprun3205]

Mine owners, illegal miners themselves and the buyers must be held responsible not the state.

[@myrahtshabalala5473]

We have a dead commission SAHRC

[@nthabibotsi9855]

ABSOLUTELY ‼️ THE WHOLE CHAIN MUST SMELL THE COFFEE ☕

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

@@msprun3205 just remember and I say it again, very few people know that of the Zuma and Mandela family owned of those shafts around there,I don't know exactly 💯 which ones, they started Pamadozi gold mines, then Aurora mine group tried to run it, but stripped the mine bare of everything removing pumps from underground, they sold everything off leaving the mine with nothing, until today some miner's are owed up to 40 000 Rand's in salary, I think this is why no one say's anything further, because the Zuma and Mandela family are privileged people,

[@bathenebuthelezi1614]

The mine was sealed. Those illegal miners used explosives to open those shafts. Miners can't always close mines. It cost millions to closed a mine. Those NGOs and SAHRC should have paid to that rescue mission

[@GrooveCollab]

This guy must be charged just for talking such kak. They criminals, no matter which way one looks at it. All of them knew the risks going in. Those illegal immigrants, especially, must be dealt with as criminals, their hamdlers and all the those big shots at the head of this criminal activity should be made an example of.

[@LindaMakofane-r6o]

Every action has consequences, that people should know.

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

@@GrooveCollab he got no idea what going on,same as that Jan Pretorius who is giving out water and food,he has no idea

[@TeacherRuth-zv9mb]

they should have come out the same way theyy used too come out, thhis man is just talking nonsense

[@bathenebuthelezi1614]

I don't know why they always interview this rubbish guy

[@sebapa-le-masenke5981]

They are not going to seal these mines, this is just a smoke screen to make it seem like something is being done. The kingpins have made a lot of money from these mines and to expect them to abandon ship is just living in dreamland. There should be thorough investigations to determine who these kingpins are showring with brown envelopes to enable this illegal activity. This is South Africa though, a country where people's statuses determine their fate.

[@janetbednarek7532]

Thank you for saving the live men. Thank you for retrieving the bodies for their families. Too late for the departed.

[@NaniswaZamane]

Who is going to bill the enquiry you want to continue waisting tax payers money for the foreign illegal miners who are terorising the communities

[@mahareng]

...bad precedent being set here....I just pray for reasonability or objective thinking because this government has SO much challenges and less resources to generally assist the ordinary people.....what about the commission of enquiry of compensation to who,for what?....

[@NonkanyisoMkhetshane]

Did they found those guys with the big guns

[@MaSokhuluSokhulu]

Forget dear nobody talking about that now

[@mamasmosoathu1364]

Police mentioned what they found there...

[@mahareng]

Good ❓❓❓

[@GoodmanButhelezi-s3c]

Did they get the kingpins

[@janvoster3220]

You will never know. It's the end off it now.

[@maletesam3691]

He is busy eating foods underground...so greedy

[@janvoster3220]

Where's all the kingpins with their guns. Still underground. These youngster been forced to work I think.

[@GoodmanButhelezi-s3c]

@janvoster3220 that means they still underground and community volunteers are not talking about them why

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

Nope, because of the Zuma and Mandela family owned of those shafts around there, Pamadozi gold mines, I'm sure they still buy of that gold

[@kathyohara6658]

Government are well aware that these illegal mines are there and they buy the gold. The fact is that mine safety is not a thing anymore, as long as the gold is coming in as cheaply as possible. Prosecutions should be made against employers and buyers.....They were left to die to silence them

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

But of those mines around there are/were owned by family of Zuma and Mandela, they let the mine's go bankrupt, this is why no one for the whole time never asks who owns the mine's, Pamadozi gold mines was owned by them, there's a book written about what happened, then Aurora mine took over

[@PogisobikieModise]

The mine need to be sealed

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

It was sealed 🤐 🤐🤐 Those Zama Zama blew the concrete slab open 👐

[@VuyisaMsindo]

Nothing about us as criminals without criminals

[@JohannesKekana-q7v]

They r laying they protecting the bosses.The police must make sure

[@DanielPhologa]

Responsible for what?Criminality activities?If that accountability you mention,is enforced by our courts,indeed we are a banana Republic.

[@mjakadash1159]

THIS IS MAIN MAN THAT SEND THESE PEOPLE UNDERGROUND

[@myrahtshabalala5473]

Why are we only hearing from the rights groups with nothing from the SAHRC. Gee, isn't this commission hopeless

[@captain_data]

So what, a month or two done the line, another group of illegal miners go down these shafts....will we see this guy here again to fight for "human rights"?

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

It will never stop, just remember there is around 30 shafts in total around there for a few kilometres wide,

[@bathenebuthelezi1614]

Yes he will . He gets paid for that. The sponsors of NGOs gives them money....

[@thabo_1979]

Talking Nonsense nje ...Mlungu

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

He's no mulungu, he's s coloured person

[@Themanhasaname1671]

It seems the State is an easy target. Did the State transport them underground? This sense of entitlement is appalling! This is our tax money that people who do not even pay Tax are demanding that our Tax money funds their illegal operations!!!

[@sandlasitela600]

This old man is stupid.

[@neethasaugh1004]

True...Period!!!!!!

[@bathenebuthelezi1614]

He is a criminal himself.

[@pulengmakhale]

The mine owners and the king pins are to be held accountable....

[@MaSokhuluSokhulu]

Eyii I guess it hard to get kingpin, kingpin kingpin

[@stanleytshwale1263]

Police must not leave that place for atleast one month or three and no food should be allowed.

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

As soon as they leave they will go back

[@majumahkamanzi5448]

Oh....

[@daniegreyvenstein6120]

Where is the 1000 s

[@MadzudzoChihwa]

My suspension is that some of the king pins are still underground with food supplies to last them 3 months while they are guarding their loot. They are busy making a plan to get the gold out

[@mahareng]

....and their aides are among the volunteers who know how how to reach out

[@NtandoenhleMwelase]

Talking shit stop blaming government find the king pins and hand them police you protect them nxaa

[@MaSokhuluSokhulu]

Good comment ❤

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

Go look for Zuma and Mandela family, they owned of those shafts around there,

[@tshepomodise7659]

This macua know the syndicate and must expose them first before the enquiry or laying charges afainst the staye, why can't this gent confirm how these miners got into the shaft safely that they could not exit the same way? For him to accuse government of mass murder. This is not equal to Marikina where legal miners were murdered for demanding wage increments.

[@sibusisovilakazi181]

That mine should be open and people should be employed why mines are closed when we have big unemployment rate in the country

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

Do you realise that the previous owner stripped the mine empty, there's nothing left to mine, just remember of the Zuma and Mandela family owned of those shafts around there, this is why no one asks about it

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

Everyone is asking about the previous owners of those shafts, few people know that of the Mandela and Zuma family owned of those shafts around there, Pamadozi gold mines,then Aurora mine tried to mine further,

[@noziphojakuja9898]

How did they get in there if there is no exit in that shaft

[@mahareng]

So, the allegations of a difficult/ risky operation to get into the mine were true...also( government rust assessment stance were true?)....

[@mahareng]

*Volunteers went through a massive trauma on behalf if the government?😮*somebody has to account at the constitutional court for the massacre...... *

[@navu1961]

Governments should be prepared for such situations. A law enforcement unit should be deployed to confirm that no one remains down there!!

[@luciahwenha7615]

Where are the kingpins

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

Of the Mandela and Zuma family owned of those shafts around there, this is why no one is saying anything, go after them

[@MaSokhuluSokhulu]

Kingpins no way to be found

[@emilysimelane6376]

This guy is sitting comfortably in his office, why is he not on the field as he has interest on these illegal miners. Am sure he is calculating his earnings from funders

[@bathenebuthelezi1614]

Why media always interview this foolish guy 😮😢. Where was he when those criminals were minig illegally. He only comes when the police started closing the shalfs .

[@bellamosteimathabathe1277]

Why did they not bring their own machines to get them out of the holes

[@nomasontoskosana919]

Assist ppl in getting jobs atleast not promoting lawlessness

[@Renae-w4e]

Close the mine, and leave

[@mahareng]

Aldrin* miners were coming out on their own even before Operation Vala uMgodi'( people went in voluntarily looking for the earths belly wealth, aware of the risks involved.... People bwhoncame out before stated the reasons why they could not come out voluntarily ...who should be held accountable?

[@TshegoSkobela]

This man is talking nonsense,these zamas are criminals must be charged period, our country is weak let them go to Congo to zama there will see if they will come back alive.
