South Africa’s government says it will not help an estimated 4,000 illegal miners inside a closed mine in the country’s North West province who have been denied access to basic supplies as part of an official strategy against illegal mining.

The miners in the mineshaft in Stilfontein are believed to be suffering from a lack of food, water and other basic necessities after police closed off the entrances used to transport their supplies underground.


It is part of the police’s Vala Umgodi, or Close the Hole, operation, which includes cutting off miners’ supplies to force them to return to the surface and be arrested.

North West police spokesperson Sabata Mokgwabone said information received from those who recently helped bring three miners to the surface indicated that as many as 4,000 miners may be underground. Police have not provided an official estimate.

Cabinet Minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni told reporters on Wednesday that the government would not send any help to the illegal miners because they are involved in a criminal act.

“You want us to send help to criminals? You want us to send help to criminals, honestly?” she asked, laughing.


“We're not sending help to criminals. We're going to smoke them out, they will come out. Criminals are not to be helped, criminals are to be persecuted. We didn't send them there and they didn't go down there for the benefit of the republic so we can't help them.

“Those who want to help them, they must go and take the food down there. They will come out and we'll arrest them.”

Illegal mining remains common in South Africa’s old gold-mining areas, with miners going into closed shafts to dig for any possible remaining deposits.

The illegal miners are often from neighboring countries, and police say the illegal operations involve larger syndicates that employ the miners.

Their presence in closed mines have also created problems with nearby communities, which complain that the illegal miners commit crimes ranging from robberies to rape.

Illegal mining groups are known to be heavily armed and disputes between rival groups sometimes result in fatal confrontations.
THE BOLDED RIGHT HERE IS CRAZY TALK AND IF ANYTHING HAPPEN TO THOSE MEN, SOUTH AFRICA GOVERNMENT WILL BE DRAGED TO ICC BY AU, JUST AS THEY DRAG ISRAEL TO ICC.


ENOUGH OF SOUTH AFRICA NONSENSE.

Read on the dangers of illegal mining in SA, it's a pandemic. They're a law unto themselves and are heavily armed. The miners are involved in deadly turf wars, community homes get cracks or explode from underground activity. Plus SA loses out on mineral wealth to people from foreign countries.

Not everything should always be blamed on SA. When are you people ever gonna take responsibility for your actions?
Who said they're people from foreign country?

Majority of those underground can be from foreign countries but they're only paid peanuts. The people running the syndicate are south Africans and are the real beneficiaries. They hire foreigners because South Africans would rather carry a gun to rob you and shoot you on your head than go into that hole

The trapped MINERS are "PALESTINES" while South Africa is "ISRAEL".

Meanwhile, South Africa has taken Israel to UN and International court for human rights violations and genocide... SA and Hypocrisy are like 12 and a dozen.

So which one is it, South Africans are lazy or South Africans won't allow themselves to be exploited? Pick one coz you're all over the place now grin.

Since you've been frantically googling SA news, post the numerous videos of the illegal miners threatening SA cops with violence and brandishing firearms.

They are not you !

You illegally go to their country, commit crimes, destroy their environment and then expect the government to help them. You are wicked after destroying your country with illegal mines; you then carry your nonsense to another country. When they are hungry, they will come out.

Nigeria should do the same to the illegal Chinese, Malian and Nigerien miners that are destroying our local habitat.
Tomorrow they will say they are a constitutional abiding country that updholds the right to life because they know its not their citizens.

They can't handle that constitution that was written. They should tear it up and rewrite the draconian one that they are advocating for.

Human life first, then you can do anything after that with them.

They have 2 options, to come out or stay underground and die. If they choose to die it's their choice, SA police are not known for brutality. These people have been warned for years to stop this but they took SA for fools. Next stop - drug dealers.
You are a village boy for real.

Look at the stupid comments made by your minister and SAPS then you will understand the madness.

A criminal that stole bread from a spaza shop should not be starved if he is stuck in a small hole because you feel like punishing him .

Justice is balance and not vengeance.
