Gauteng premier David Makhura believes the issue of illegal mining can be solved if the mining community accommodates small-scale artisanal miners.
“With the issue of illegal mining, there are several interventions needed and one of them is that we would like to see small-scale artisanal miners given space in SA,” he said.
He said this would be one of the most significant interventions in the fight against illegal mining in the country. Green Door is a safe site which offers victims of gender-based violence services such as emotional containment, trauma debriefing and referral to the nearest police station to open a case.
“In this area, our challenge is that our communities are housing those undocumented foreigners and zama zamas [illegal miners].” “We need our communities to assist us. In some instances when we were busy in communities arresting these illegal miners and undocumented people, we are stoned. They will block the roads and say we are taking bread out of their mouths,” said Kekana.
