Zama zamas on the rise as mining houses shut down

[@squareboxable]

Mining houses are compelled to rehabilitate and close all shafts…. Government is not doing their jobs

They are our brothers and sisters indeed.....but CIC doesn't condone criminals...he said it loud and clear that the police must arrested them...if they are doing illegal activities...and he has been very vocal about that😌

@@katematlamela2332 What malema says today he denies tommorow. Lets give a good example of contradiction “Stop Xenophobia! There is no foreigner that took your jobs. If you fail in business, do not blame other people,” Malema told a crowd during an electioneering campaign stop in the Free State province over the weekend. Then.... Malema and the EFF have now joined the anti-black immigrant chorus, particularly demonising those from countries such as Zimbabwe. This has included visiting businesses they suspect of hiring more foreigners than South Africans.

Bee was one of the causes of mines being closed

[@shaunie7473]

Please elaborate.

[@sarahhudleston832]

@@shaunie7473 AS BEE ownership laws took hold, traditional investors faded and BEE investors, who perhaps did not have capital to develop and maintain the mines, let the mines go. The mines were not maintained, acid water built up and is a real problem. Riverlea has also had a high level of cancer, thought to be caused by the acid mine dust blowing about. If these mines were not going to be mined, they should have been closed down properly and the mine dumps processed and removed and made environmentally safe. The Mama Mamas are opportunists at a time when they are hungry. Many worked on those mines and lost their jobs. The whole situation is a failure in policy and leadership. And I maintain BEE has only made a miniscule percentage of black people economically empowered.

This is only a chronic symptom, their are others such as critical pollution , that is a manifestation of embedded problems including , the failure to accommodate miners that worked on mines that have closed,: the failure to ensure that mining areas were rehabilitated before they closed as was required; lack of law and order; high unemployment rate; effective policies and implementation thereof; and inability to hold those mines accountability
