'We respect government, we want to see our people alive' - community on stilfontein rescue mission

A frustrated group of community leaders has hit out at a perceived lack of transparency by the government, as an operation to retrieve hundreds of illegal miners from a shaft in Stilfontein enters another day.

They need to check this community leaders, their interest it's more than what we think of.

[@Reatseba]

These people know how to resurface, they’ve been zamazaming without anybody’s help for years,

[@ZuidAfrikaanseMense]

Zama Zaming ? That is funny 😂

[@brideofchrist8295]

I think the community has been helping them to resurface

[@MfunekoFezi-h6g]

Obviously it had to be started by you guys that are beneficiaries of illegal mining.

Fascinating how these community leaders are so personally invested & concerned about the zama zamas, when ALL but 7 number only of the 1000+ miners who exited from the Margaret Shaft 2 weeks ago were found to be illegal workers from Zimbabwe & Mozambique..... 🤔💰💰💰🙄
