  • As phase two of the operation to retrieve illegal miners from a Stilfontein mineshaft continues, the North West police disclosed an extortion attempt by a man demanding 30% of the operation's budget for his help. This highlights the growing issues of extortion and illegal mining in South Africa. With these crimes on the rise, there's increasing scrutiny of whether the police are equipped to handle such challenges, or whether specialised units and training are necessary. Masechaba Mphoswa speaks to SAPU's Jabu Mabaso.

    Focusing on illegal miners themselves and ignoring the buyer won't solve any problem. Illegal miners can't continue hunting what no one will buy

    This matter is neither pandemic nor endemic. They have quarantined themselves. Year 2020 has at least taught us a lesson or two.
    How did they enter there? Certainly they did NOT jump in and have NOT climb in. How did they get there?

      only those who are not South african citizens, because police can't arrest South African citizens as thy have according to that one police woman not done or committed any crimes, As far, as i can work out someone must lay a charge against them,

    For extortion it's going to be difficult because of corruption. 95% of people have been corrupted. When corrupt people succeed in life the lesson to everyone is, you can also be corrupt and succeed. It's pathetic.

    Many crimes are taking place at that stilfontein area.
    Government is also actively aiding criminals using tax payers money.
    Extortion and corrption is also taking place now on top of other zama zama crimes.

    You've got to wonder why the long-established & experienced mining companies (one of those companies also being the actual landowner & owner of Shaft 11) aren't getting involved in this chaotic rescue situation....? 🤔🤔🤔

    • @Palmstreet-u7x
      @Palmstreet-u7x 20 дней назад +1

      as far as i know shaft 11 was a old Vaal reefs mine --Anglo American-- Oppenheimer family, but thy sold many of the shafts or the mine to Anglo-Ashanti, who owns the mine now is a big question ,
