legitnow1: AFTER MAKING THOSE INDICTABLE COMMENTS, IF THE SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT HAD ANY SNESE, THEY WIL DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE IN THEIR POWER TO ENSURE EVERYBODY EXIT THAT MINE UNHARMED.
THE REAL REASON U WENT THERE WAS FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT AND THE REAL REASON THEY ARE AFRIAD TO COME OUT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT.
THEY CANNOT BE IN THAT MINE WITHOUT THE SOUTH AFRICAN MAIKING IT POSSIBLE.
U CRY ABOUT THESE THINGS BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT IS STILL SOUTH AFRICANS THAT ARE THE ENABLERS.
THAT MINE IS OWNED BY A SOUTH AFRICAN USING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT FOR CHEAP LABOUR.
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 .
Since you've been frantically googling SA news, post the numerous videos of the illegal miners threatening SA cops with violence and brandishing firearms.
legitnow1: THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES, U WERE CRYING ABOUT PEOPLE IN FAR AWAY GAZA, YET PLANNING TO MUREDER 400 PEOPLE INSIDE MINE.
DO U THINK U CAN GO SCOTFREE AND NOT PAY?
DO U REALLY THINK SO?
The people of Gaza are not criminals, these your brothers were caught red-handed on a crime scene and given multiple opportunities since October 18 to surface but they chose not to. Very winnable case, go wail in a corner
ehikwe22: 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
You can follow your foreign heroes down those holes to showcase your hard work for peanuts. In the end you'd be breaking the law and we'll watch you on tv being starved to death I'll remember your mocking words and then share zero tears for you
Chucks13: You are right but are you saying 4,000 human like you should starve to death simply they are illegal miners, is that a solution to miners illegality problem?
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.
franchasofficia: Ungrateful Xenophobic Mzamzi creatures enjoying good country built by White South Africans, if not for White Dutch people, these black Mzamzi xenophobes would have turned South Africa to Northern Sudan
In that case it would still have been a million times better that nigeria. 100 of thousands of nigerian refugees were evacuated out of Sudan at the beginning of the war in old tokunbo buses that got stuck in the middle of the desert The jokes just keep writing themselves
DrDoc: Responsibility for your actions you say ? Are the miners Nigerians ? Why post your poignant sh*ton our media space ? Oh, you've exhausted the toxicity space for Nigerians in your domain right ?
You're a lowlife for validating such murders
You're same Whatsapp group of criminal sympathizers. See post after post condemning SA police for fighting rampant crime. You think your hero Trump who separated kids from their parents would allow such lawlessness in the US?
These are infact invaders and terrorists - SA is soft on them for sending cops instead of the army. You know how that would've played out.
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?
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.
madone: after them see Nigeria as number 5 workd Internet user. Every blogger want to come say something about Nigeria just to get views and comments. They know if they say good we will like if they say bad we will come fighting. So they rather say bad so we come fighting cos they know our fight last longer than our like. even Chinko man that can't speak english want to create content about Nigeria and Nigerians
Nigeria never recovered from that online Chidimma knacking SA gave you 3 years ago. Keep wailing
Sonnobax15: These southies been having numerous sleepless nights trying to find ways to compare their white-owned country to Nigeria
Well, y'all should feel free to enjoy your gutters...After all,your inhumane attitudes towards your fellow blacks stinks like what's beneath those gutters
Botswana and Rwanda, please showcase your white-owned gutters so Ant of Africa can run out of excuses
When they can't stand to SA they conveniently say "It's because of the whites". Losers have no shame.
See how nigeria features nowhere among good indices. Where your white excuse at now?
Nigeria ranking: 20789 out of 54 African countries.
Nigerian YouTube lady recently reacted to South Africa's concealed sewage system which runs underground.
In previous videos she questioned why Nigeria had open gutters. Humourously, she previously revealed she wasn't aware SA's electricity cables also ran underground, unlike in Nigeria.
The brown iron-metal circles on the road are entry points for repair men to open, enter and descend underground using built-in staircases. There's an entire intricate underground sewage system that runs throughout SA cities linked to water purification plants and individual households, that also ensures rain water is preserved in the arid water scarce country.
Below is standard sewage drainage (as South Africans call it) on most South African roads.
Zooposki: Uncle, Nigerians are not coming to your country. Kenya that have had visa free since last two years or so, how many Nigerians have gone there? As of last census by your government, very few Nigerians left in your country. Your South African embassy here in Nigeria is like a graveyard. Nigerians are not interested in relocating to other African countries, cos there is nothing you guys can offer them except envy and jealousy. Maybe when CapeTown get their independence, we Nigerians can work with them.
When "Cape Town get their independence" rest assured you ain't getting no darn visa like back then in the good ol apartheid days honey - then you'll wail some more thank black South Africans you can even open mouth about an SA visa or even come close to our border from Zimbabwe.
Major7: Stop living in delusion,always learn to condemn what’s wrong because two wrong doesn’t make a right. That’s where your folks are missing it dude.
You only supporting mass immigration because nigeria is a failed state. All of the western world - US, Europe, Australia are anti-immigration, you dont call them xenophobic. But you want SA to carry all of africa and its criminals. No thanks signor, those days are over.
Sonnobax15: All thanks to their white Masters for making that city habitable for humans....If not,the black south Africans who finds pleasure in xenophobia would have turned the whole place into a complete mess
White s licking helps us hungry nigerians sleep better at night, otherwise envy for black south Africans would kill us them not want us to japa there in peace so we must hate them for not giving us visa, us hungry giant of Africa
During the meeting held at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre, a councillor was told to “Go back to Bombay.”
In a statement, the City said the incident occurred during a debate on a monument honouring the 1860 Indentured Indians, where an offensive remark, "you must go to Bombay," was reportedly directed towards a councillor.
eThekwini Municipality’s Speaker of Council, Councillor Thabani Nyawose, has strongly condemned the racist remark.
"This is unacceptable, as there is no room for racism in the council or in our country at large."
The Speaker further assured that a thorough investigation would be conducted to identify the individual responsible for this divisive behaviour.
"I will investigate this unfortunate incident to find the culprit, and we will not hesitate to take serious action against any councillor who breaks the rules.“
The City said it remained committed to upholding values of respect, inclusivity, and unity in all Council proceedings.
At the meeting, the Democratic Alliance said that the failure to commission the 1860 monument has shown contempt for the Indian community, the Mercury reported.
DA councillor Yogis Govender addressed concerns following revelations that the provincial government will now take over the processes related to the building of the monument.
Flows001: You blacks should first deny visas to the Ukrainians who would be coming soon in their numbers and see whether your white slavemasters wouldn't deal mercilessly with you all..😅
Bunch of 21st century slaves😁😁.
Have a little shame, leave Nairaland, and go join any of your SA Xenophobic forums, your obsession with Nigeria is not good for your mental health!
Lol, white DA propaganda victim. Since you always go ultra to investigate the latest from SA😂 please check mbalula saying saying there wont be such. Ukrainians could come to Japageria but you're armpit odour for whites 😂 And always have been.
Flows001: Research? You wish. If bumping on a news on the front page of Nairaland is research to you, then yeah I did research about the Xenophobic SA, if that will make you smile... 😅😅
Y'all SAns think it's every Nigerian that gives a f***k about your stupid country?? Silly slaves, many of us have NEVER even thought about, nor admired such a silly country..
Why are you on a Nigerian platform? Spying I guess, so you can take note of the Nigerians living in SA and doing well for themselves, in preparation for the next time you and your lazy brothers would commence another Xenophobic attack, right? Bunch of lazy Cowards..
You sound like you're in desperate need of an SA visa 🫤. I'll consider your request but most probably you'll be DENIED😂. Shalom!
Flows001: And you're shamelessly on a Nigerian platform manifesting your stupidity!
The last place I would ever dream of visiting in your stupid SA, most times I get pissed off with the Nigerians staying in SA, like why the heck do people go to a country that is filled with hateful and lazy people?
Don't worry, by the time Ukrainians arrive in their numbers, you black slaves would be redirected and resettled permanently in the slums.
You sure do in-depth research on a stupid country you care so little about. Keep wailing 😂
