South Africa: Trapped Illegal Miners at Stilfontein Claim Turning to Cannibalism | Firstpost Africa
South Africa is fighting an underground war against gangs and criminals who control its abandoned mines. For weeks now, several illegal miners have been trapped inside a gold mine in the country’s northwest. The authorities have cut off their food and water supplies to force them out and make arrests. But officials now face a grave dilemma. They’ve received a chilling letter from the miners saying that amid food shortage, many of them have turned to cannibalism. They have urged authorities to send them food supplies. Watch this video for all the details about South Africa’s mining industry crisis. Watch the video to learn more.

If the mines are decommissioned why not let them be… You want to feed foreign companies and refuse your own people permission to scrap even from mines that are no longer in US. Foolish government
Send them some spices so they can eat more of their friends bulldoze the entrances closeIftheydont want to come out let them stay the why must our taxpayers money be wasted there is already enough corruption in this country👎💯
Who trapped them.
Everyone is going off against people who have literally endured and are still enduring hell on earth to earn a pittance, if even that, to feed their families. Most were targeted, promised work, and then forced to work in the worst conditions.
Now my question is:
Who is going after the syndicate/s or organization/s responsible for this and making millions off the back breaking labour of these ragged souls?
I'll tell you, no one is, because 9 out of 10 times high-ranking government people have a cut in it, too. An operation like that will not work unless it involves the right people taking a hefty cut.
Any comments?
I think cannibalism is more than what is happening. Eating a human flesh under desperate conditions is not equal to cannibalism.
Lazy south Africa
Let our brothers live!
Surely , there must another way to curtail this illegal mining. Obviously, the government didn't see this one coming. It is sad, but I am sure it will be hastily fixed.
Nigerians ! The darkness part of the night is just before dawn.
I hope the day will come, and come soon , when Africans will no longer have to scratch for the crumbs that fall from their own tables, but that they will sit at the tables and dine.
Its obviousl they are hiding something big that will shock the whole country down there
South Africa will face in ICC for starving miners
They fight poverty by risking life in illegal mining and authorities cut off its food supplies and water ,which is against all laws of humanity,,South Africa must be brought to the I C C,
My sister these people are your fellow Africans,there will be a time you will need to visit their countries for one reason or the other.
Your heading that got me here said South African miners. Noooo they are mot South african please. 😢😢😢😢

Why are you hiding Daniels book 📕 chapter 10
did they make a potjie or a braai?
Its not using starvation as a weapon…they are welcome to come out
The SA Government should NOT be aiding them…. This kind of illegal mining could NEVER happen in any other country in the world…. Why did they think it’s possible in South Africa?! They need to be sent back to where they came from. If they “ were “ allowed to mine in old mines, where is their supporting documents to support prove such employment/permissions??!!

Thats what you forget steal African Gold with your greedyness ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾
Shame on the government. They intentionally trapped them and ropes were cut and whether illegal or not, gangs don’t operate abandoned mines. So what?! The poor workers, quit calling them illegal. They were workers. Dangerous job so that’s desperate. I don’t care to learn the term zamazama. Who cares?! Stop reporting and making them look bad!!! Poor people and the government does nothing! Shame on them! Why didn’t they seal it off and guard it, if so concerned!! It was already drained of gold. These are small hard to excavate parts. God help them, please ❤😢🙏🏻✝️☮️
The heading is misleading, those miners are mot only SAcans. Thereare undocumented, unruly umdocumented foreign illegal miners.
1900 illegal miners are said to have emerged from the mine. Only 26 are South Africans.
Immigrants come to S.A 🇿🇦 illegally & get involved in crimes. And we must entertain their demands?
I knew the media would paint them as victims and S.A 🇿🇦 as the villan.
They had to surrender or starve. They chose to starve….
😮😮😮
Are they South African? 😂😂😂
Thank you for posting! Hoping for some advice: My Safe Wallet has some Tether, and I know the backup phrase:
