Problem is that if the police go underground, their safety is not guaranteed. Especially if you consider that only one person can go down at a time. Chances of a hostage situation occurring are unfortunately very high.
SANCO is useless. Who's responsibility is it to pull out those people who went underground illegally? So rescuers should risk their lives for nonsense?
Exactly my point. Who sent whose criminals there, their families hv been eating money and without encouraging them to stop this rubbish, come on, let them go down there and help if they care so much
Rescuers have a job to do, an oath to up hold, it’s not up to the to play judge and jury… Save those that can be saved and prosecute later, recover those that have passed and give families closure. I’m not in anyway supporting illegal activities but life’s still life. Imo
These reporters and “community” are talking like these people are not criminals, have they forgotten that laws were broken when those people went into those holes? Human rights are going to be the end of this country.
🤔 Gold was taken by the others already. Why recently someone went and came back? These people die because they don't want to come back without anything. They should do the analysis to check if the shaft can accommodate 4500 people Undergroud Stampede may have contributed to this as well. And health condition as well because these is no sanitation there...
Arrest the community members who knew about illegal mining ....just like a person who knew about stolen goods and not report. Or kanthe how does South African law works ??
Did the police send them there? They have bosses that they work for, let them call out to their employer. Saps this, saps that... Saps combats crime and brings perpetrators to justice, those members are trained in their respective profession not mining
Police officers aren’t just trained to catch criminals, they render first aid, negotiate in hostage situations as well as search and rescue, only to name a few…. If a child wanders off without being kidnapped, you’d still call the police yet there’s no crime that’s been committed. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Quit being ignorant, life’s a full circle.
😔 my sister, who sends those pple underground is not the issue here and it might happen that no-one sends anyone there. Pple are struggling to feed their families so they'll do any thing to support their families. Government must not promise to arrest them upon their surfacing as it might be the challenge for them fearing the arrest . The same Government must try send trained individuals underground to save or retrieve the deceased, once all thats is done . Then can now block or start the arrest the pple trying to enter there.
@@AnthonyMakamure better if you call your Zimbabwean, Lesotho, Mozambican Embassies to come and speak to their people to surface, why always South African government.

@Tinker8531 Yes, but now people are dying. No food or water! Surely many more would choose life and deportation over dying of thirst? I don't know. We will find out soon. This is such a situation of pure madness or the armed men are the ones who would prefer die than face SAPS. Who knows.
@@cefasfah85Very different situation, surely you can see that. I do feel deeply for these men. I don't understand why they can not come out, but this is very different from what Madiba did. These men are trying to keep their families fed and alive and I respect that. Desperation is a terrible thing....
Akere community is concerned 🤷🏾 then the community must go rescue them 😊 easy! We can't risk lives trying to save people who knew what they were doing was illegal...
These women are the Basotho nationals their husbands are the ones who do this illegal activities, they must also be trialed for concealing criminal activities by their husbands.
No just the 1st one, the 2nd one is from Zimbabwe and she has her two sons there with her nephews too. I honestly feel sorry for them but their family members knew what they were getting into.
I cannot wrap my head around the fact that there are more than 1 000 people underground 😵😵 how do you survive even a day there? No light no clean air, where do you relieve yourself??
There's nothing useless like sanco...who sent them there... unless the same sanco was distorting those illegal miners?let their bosses arrange for them to be pulled out.
Why should the emergency services respond to people who willingly and knowing exactly what they let themselves in for, spend taxpayers money, on illegal activities?
Interesting how these illegal miners find their way in ,and now await to be rescued. Is this what our SAPS need , like they don't have an important task ,to protect citizens of SA.
So when they go under for 3 months, who brings them food? Let their boss pull them out. All this time we are complaining with zama zama people and sanco knows about them, their sisters and wives weeeeee!
Some armed men are keeping them in there. Nothing else makes sense. Why would they choose to starve and die of thirst. I cant think of any other reason for them not to come out.
Medicals has a lot on their hands good they are not part to waste their limited resources. Why should they be helped they know their way. What if the police are attacked underground. Uyabhuda is pulling people underground in the job description of police officers.
Circumstances drive men to go through such . Address the issue , you solve the problem. You can’t solve a problem by cutting off food supplies. You can’t do that .
@@SnowQueenie all these people want is soft porridge and some water so that they can get energy to climb a 2 km rope. They are eating Colgate mixed with vinegar for days now. They don’t want groceries no. It takes 45 minutes for 50 community members to pull one person out. All the government can do is to provide a crane and some soft porridge to help the pulling process faster.
I knew that it's not only foreigners involved in this by the way the whole community was worried.What happened "foreign nationals are advancing zama zamas"?
It's mostly foreigners. Some of these communities are financially supported by these Zama Zam's. Artisanal mining needs to be made legal for South Africans. Foreigners have mines in their own countries.
Queues are long at public clinics and hospitals. From which hospitals and clinics are those doctors and nurses expected to be pulled from??? If those zama Zama’s want health care, they should come out or be brought out and they will receive the proper health care that they need. But for Dr and nurses who are already in shortage to be stationed there is asking too much!
“ People have not eaten for 3 months down there” they chose to go down there illegally. Mining is dangerous work. You can’t expect things to go well without proper procedures and qualified people on site.
No work for South Africans no work for our black brothers from around so now what must happen everyone let it be a holiday we go to that area to assist shame on gorvenent.
This is a difficult situation. Spiritually, for the sake of the area and it's people, of which Im one of them, from this generation forward, May God Almighty intervene, all those people to come out, dead or alive, in the name of Jesus 🙂↕️
Lol, comparing this to Marikana is so misleading. Artisanal mining? That’s just inviting another violent industry, like what we see with the taxi business. Mine unions are trying to score cheap points here, but they’re missing the bigger picture! lolface-fuchsia-poop-shape Mining isn’t a casual, low-stakes job; it’s high-risk, with real dangers and lives on the line. That’s why we have strict regulations modern days-laws that require safety gear, training, and compensation if there’s an accident or a collapse. This is exactly why we should only allow regulated corporations. Established, licensed companies are easier to monitor, which also makes it possible to control supply and demand, keeping market prices stable and the industry safer
These people are dangerous and already they have broken the law must take it's course and no Police officer must risk their lives inorder to save those criminals Yhoo 🤔😲🤞
Rest in peace to them in advance 😊... we can't be spending tax payers money on illegal miners when they willingly went in there... im definitely sure they know their way out shem!!! We are battling food poising that's killing our children, but here we are prioritizing illegal miners, which some are illegal immigrants
Minister of MIinerals is quite doing nothing, where's the money that was supposed to be used to close the shaft? i blame our goverment for these legal mines ANC sold this country.
Why do you need the police to help pull them out? they went there knowing exactly of the dangers.
Just like the government providing you with free condoms. We did not send you to be sleeping allover the place but we also buy you condoms

So a whole government and the police are clueless.
@@MzamoAdoons372 They aren't clueless and that exactly why they aren't going underground, because they've thoroughly evaluated the situation.
