The crackdown on illegal miners, or so-called zama zamas, in Gauteng is heating up as investigators continue to apply pressure on smalltime syndicates. But the kingpins are moving on, approaching private landowners with financial offers they can’t refuse. The criminals rent a plot of land, then set up small refineries - complete with equipment and staff. Bags of gold-rich soil, dug up by zama zamas, are transported to these refineries, turning a simple backyard into a small mining operation. Carte Blanche investigates.

Cart Blanch is one of the online best informative platforms. I appreciate your journalism ❤🎉
SAPS is sleeping on their job.
Mnet on Sundays @ 7pm
Yeah, almost up there with the likes of Al Jazeera
Chrome, Gold and diamonds. Illegal mining. I can't wait to find out about illegal logging
We need to build a solid community against crime in this country. It's surprising how carte blanche busts allot of crime syndicates but these politicians aren't being held accountable. Maybe even our own private court system and private policing can make a difference
Anc has allowed this crime state
I'm shocked. I'm a small scale farmer in walkerville fruit farms and I was not even aware of what is happening in my hood.
lock and load because these are criminal gangs amd the law is useless.
lock and load because these are criminal gangs amd the law is useless.
U won't be aware coz ur not connected to the right channels😅
Hi Matome, how can how get land that side? Can we talk privately
Cart Blanch is best news outlet. Captive, informative and a lifeline to awareness
A political leader once said "if port of entries are closed, people must find creative ways to enter into SA." Now those people are destroying our economy.
The ANC is destroying your economy.
My goodness SA😢so sad. The lawlessness is beyond a joke.
SANS are called Xenophobic by the business class because all they think is cheap labour, until they discover labour is not so cheap when they rob them.
ANC GOVERNMENT TO BE BLAMED WHITH MALEMA
ANC is blamed again for what then?
Anc. allowed. immigrants to come to sa unlawfully. After 1994. the control. at borders was relaxed.
Even now theu can arrest and deport. Honestly nothing stop them. They are.gvt of the day. It is lack of willingness.
I like Zimbabwe when it comes to their laws. They enforce their laws.
I cannot enter Zim without relevant documents.
Anc wants to be political correct while sacrificing us as citizens.
If a South African go to any African country illegally and the gvt eliminate that person , no body will complain.
Unxilile wena
We have illegal mining in our country but Ramaphosa and Bheki Cele they don't see any need for specialized unit to deal with Zama Zamas,their bosses and dealers who buy this gold.
What’s illegal about mining your own land?
Deport and ban them from SA.
Yep, but the sad truth is they are back the next week just having walked across the border. Not even talking about border posts - just walking across at random places. There are areas where there Limpopo river is so dry it is a mere spruit. Shocking. Cops are in cahoots with these crossings too.
@@thecatat7 next week I grew up on the Zim border the towns people know a few border jumpers here and there by name they back in time for supper
They'll jst walk in
@@giftnkele4962by the time the bus gets to beitbridge it’s half full, officials will release those with money before polokwane, after dropping them off the following day they are on their way back again so problem is not solved by banning or deportation
Why don't they catch the kingpin ?
Because everyone is in on it up the chain. I will be surprised if anyone is prosecuted - they will pay for the SAPS to "lose" the docket - and they'll move onto the next target and carry on.
I hope ANC is happy 💔
I wouldn't be surprised if the bankrupt yeyenci is funded this way
Are they going to be blamed for everything.
The weather blame ANC
Housebreaking etc blame ANC
It's about time we stop the blame game and work together as citizens to clean our own country
@@TinyRadebe Are you part of the ANC?
That would explain why you can't see that it is absolutely their fault due to their uselessness and incompetence. They are way too busy filling their own pockets to care for what is happening in this country.
The day South Africa 🇿🇦 has functioning border control we won’t be having such. It’s soo sad to see what’s happening in Johannesburg 😢.
It's so sad you don't know how to spell BORDER. Matric doesn't teach proper spelling?
@@Mo-yd8xc His spelling of border is perfectly fine, you go use your spelling in your own country.
it will never happen coz jhb cbd, Hillbrow, berea etc in now zimbabwe s own land like it or not
Stolen cars pass through to Mozambique every day
i think Policing must go Private in SA....our SAPS are incapable...criminal syndicates are too advanced.
That is only 7 ton of cyanide that caused that. An 8 ton truck can load 7 ton of cyanide. This is serious .... super serious
700tons
This is the problem throughout All social media...the comments sections EVERYWHERE on all social media, including FB etc...proves that people do not listen...and a case of "broken telephone" plays out all across the land...
I often attend a flea market in the area, oblivious to the danger and criminal activity.All is not as it seems,very sad and scary.
The average South African constantly says political instability in Zimbabwe & Mozambique is not their problem but the reality says otherwise.
Lesson from this Carte Blanch episode is that South Africa is a totally lawless country, thanks to the ANC so-called government.
very informative. Lets tackle corruptive activities together.
How? Do you control the security cluster?
stagnant mindset will get nowhere sir.
@@AndrewMcFarlane_1
Yes lets vote correct way
I cant blame people for acting against foreigners.they are basically coming here for crime
💯% 🎯
Can’t blame the community
can still blame the government for allowing foreigners in the first place
Exactly
Cartblanch is the way to go......very reliable n informative
The sound level of the final clip is still too high compared to the main video. Please adjust the sound level. Every time I watch a Carte Blanche video the end video screams out of my speakers and I have to quickly turn the volume down. I have mentioned it to you before in the comments.
Yeah and old Cyril lets his brothers in without blinking an eye.. #voetzekANC
Open borders let all the brothers in & watch how they turn south Africa into the same failed African states then blame apartheid.🤣
Who did apart hate benefit the most?
Apart hate😂😂😂Brilliant
@@Mo-yd8xc You a foreigner so obviously it had nothing to do with you.
I just wish government could remove all the unnecessary redtapes for obtaining a refining license for us small scale refiners, because currently,when you apply, they'll just look for a reason not to grant you a license,while your raw material is not even a PM ore/concentrate but E-waste. And then you end up being classified as a Zama-zama while you tried to do things by their book but were declined.
The cartels want to be in control of all the gold, but in the meantime the Zimbabweans are buying up estate houses in all the luxury estates in Gauteng.
lol zimbabweans buying up estate seriously?@@user-vk1wy5xe9i
Is it the start of the South. American. Cartel. As seen in South. America. Unheard of in previous times. And in other countries. Mind boggling 😢😮😮😮
You are competing with the criminal anc government...what do you expect.
If you South African there is a discussion to be held, if you foreign pack your bags!!!
Why if 20 backyard refineries were identified only 10 were raided, who is actualy involved to give warnings before raids?
You meant 24
10 already shutdown
14 were still going at the time of this report
This is the problem throughout All social media...the comments sections EVERYWHERE on all social media, including FB etc...proves that people do not listen...and a case of "broken telephone" plays out all across the land.
the problem is that the authorities are not proactive but rather seem to be chasing shadows
I find it hard to believe the land owners don't know what's going on in their property. My question is; How many SAns go to other countries and start criminal syndicates?
None. South Africans don't go out to other countries to commit crimes at all.
Scary activities one day they will touch Sasol pipe unaware South Africa will be buried in few seconds. Thank you A N C for neglecting zama zamas for such a long time.
So why not show the side where female Zimbabweans are sending money and buying machines for R80k for the operations happening. They are your ordinary person you wouldn't suspect. They work all over South Africa
😂😂😂😂 this nugget
100% correct. I'm aware of Zimbabwean women who own 40 to 50 luxury houses in luxury estates throughout Gauteng, and they buy them cash. Where is the money coming from? Once the house is registered in their name, the money is laundered and clean.
The second half of the video reminds me of the song 🎶 "Sounds Of Silence" with the lyrics 'Hello Darkness My Old Friend'
😂😂😂😂
CLASSIC MNET leaving in and out points where they shouldnt be> well done
12:33 until 28:58 are the best parts
Most interesting 😅
No surprises. I work on the mines in a zama zama hotspot have been threatened verbally then threatened with firearms then they tried to bribe me with a huge bribe senior management would do nothing . Seems like they are all involved in a cut
When all are arrested what happens to the animals left behind. I sincerely hope the SPCA are called in to deal with the problem of animals left behind.
WELCOME TO THE MAFIA STATE, SOME THINGS WILL NEVER CHANGE SINCE 1852 on the Pardekraal farm, Krugersdorp, in the South African Republic (ZAR) by John Henry Davis, a Welsh mineralogist.
But mine are also doing this at a much bigger scale, mines are contaminating water, air pollution the list is countless.
True, but they do have license to do this, and SHOULD follow strict protocol to expose of the harmful chemicals.
The landowner they arrested has involved his very young son!! What kind of example is that for a young impressionable child? He should lose his parental rights.

The same process is done by mines .also mines use a lot of toxic chemicals in larger quantities than these people stop harassing people. This needs to be taught to people every African needs to know about this . The department of mineral and resources must easily issue artisanal mining licence so people can own small mines that comply with health and safety rules not everything is illegal about this just proper precautions need to be addressed and certification is needed.
Did you miss the part where all of this is done by illegal foreign nationals? Did you miss the Zimbabweans and Mozambicans named in this video? You want our government to issue licenses to illegal immigrants who have absolutely no knowledge or care for how their activities are ruining the environment and the people who live in it? There is a reason why the big mining businesses stopped operating and closed those mines in the first place. When the life of a mine is over, that's it. They have mined enough there and to the acceptable level of safety. Mining any further will cause harm to people and the environment like we are already experiencing in the Westrand with roads and houses caving in due to illegal mining. You are advocating for our government to issue licenses to mine already mined areas by people who have no skill, no competence or any capability whatsoever to do so without harming infrastructure and human beings in those areas. The government would be opening a can of worms and the lose of human life and damage to infrastructure is not worth it. Again I say, there's a reason why those mines where closed in the first place.
Well done.
Please do a programme about the goldmine 1 and the strike that happened underground.What happened to white mineworkers ect.we need to hear truth.
We have moved from one of the safest countries in the world to one of the highest criminal records in the world unfortunately
Video ends at @12:30
The contamination of the Earth by humans is profound..... besides the toxicity, Sodium cyanide reacts violently with strong oxidants such as nitrates, chlorates, nitric acid, and peroxides, causing an explosion hazard. Upper and lower explosive (flammable) limits in air are not available for sodium cyanide. Containers may explode when heated or if they are contaminated with water.
Banana Republic....😔
Imagine being a "criminal" for mining your own land.
South Africa is too gone to be rescued.
I wonder what is Malema saying because these are his foreign brothers,Zimbabweans,Mozambicans
He's too busy having meetings with Hamas and ISIS
But in this video its 4 Mozambiquans, 3 South Africans and 1 Zimbabwean proving that a criminal is a criminal regardless of race or country they may come from.
@@MultiTaffie🤡😡😮
@@MultiTaffie go watch the video and count how many South Africans
It's like a movie 7:00
Zimbabwean king pin = ANC politicians involved
cart blache: trusted, reliable
Home owners must face prosecutor and stop pleading ignorance. How do you rent to illegals
Guys i think you are doing amazing job
Can you also do these operations especially on drugs our kids are dying of drugs
Add Xolani to your team i think he knows how they operate
Interesting stories on here. Where is Lourensa Eckard?
SAPS does this every other week. Commendable work.
The editor didn’t care
I am a first time subscriber thank you guys
They'll be out in a couple of months and then all of those SAP have risked their lives only to have to start again.
They get bail and are back on the job within 24 hours
The landlord doing it, some who don't and never wanted this country to work. They encouraging criminality In their own country instead of helping build this country. Then we expect our brothers from outside to behave?Disgusting! Landlord criminal. 🛐🇿🇦
The landlord is only trying to comply with your governments BBBEEEE policies, to make a living.
So farmers give them opportunity on their grounds to do business, same people who won't give SANS a chance. Watching to see how they poison their area, same way they did in the poor areas.
Cry the Beloved Country!
I respect their grind. That's really hard work what they are doing! Zam zams are the few Africans in the gold game.
Funny thing is they have gold mines in their own country, instead they in a foreign country waiting to be sent back in body bags.
Where's this kingpin from Zimbabwe?
Masa (Carte Blanche) does not ask Rudy whether the 'Tenants' had any residence permits since they are Zimbabweans. Rudy welcomes them because they are Zimbabweans. Rudy himself is a Zimbabwean who is leaving a comfortable life in SA.
This is very interesting
You will always live comfortably if you work honestly
The sad truth is that some citizens prefer to employees this guys and system is failing us as citizens
They will soon discover labour ain't taht cheap.
When will this STOP!
Yooo our country is f....d🙆♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Why hiding their faces, it means they going to release them.
If the police wanted to do something about it they would but they are all involved.
it is the peoples land, , dont arrest or bother them, De Beers did irreparable damage to the kimberley and JHB - we need these forces and protection fighting crime and protecting the locals and not foreigners
Thabo Mbeki is to blame for all the happenings in gold dealings. When Mugabe lost an election in 2008 he protect him and say the was no crisis. All the zama zama left Zimbabwe and came to South Africa because of mine closures. It’s going to worse. The next step is to go underground and break pillars that hold the ground. Government needs to move fast and stop this.
I dont suport anything ilegal but i want you to look deep into the current laws that closes the doors for poor africans from having proper documents to operate practising safety and proper enviroment management. If this was a registered refinery it would be benefiting the comunity. Big mining companies would do all it takes to stop owners of the land from getting proper documents and knowledge. They rather teach us to work for them
Are these people South Africans?
Even locals can be given licenses , illegal migrants will take over.
Problem is illegal people mining illegally.
You can say that again
troublesome
Case will not stand in court. Just a big show
British was original zama zamas.Just saying.
Why don't they legalize the small mines then it can be controlled and taxed
How can a child be arrested for his greedy father's neglect.
Its all connected the zamas , local police , local Municipality and our lovely coverment....
I dont think people realize how much those guys make with that gold sand 😮 yoh sommer pay off your house one shot
What is a peace officer?
Reupload it
I miss rock inn ranch
Tomorrow they will be out of jail and back to their activities.
These are all criminals but the land owner and his son are sitting while everyone is lying face down, that's SA for u.
Why is she saying acres in south Africa ?? Clearly this is no longer for us south Africans
Anc Zim and moz working together
10:41 From a boss they say is Zimbabwean.
Who is that Zimbabwean?
NO NO NO NOT WALKERVILLE...SOUTH AFRICAS BEST KEPT SECRET
Were is the government when this happens do we have soldiers
176 people dead is nothing when you have a billion people.
Uncompleted 13:09
his response raises serious concern. He must resign to save face
Useless Ramaphosa ,sadly for far too long has been given benefit of doubt ; people not realising how incompetent ;how inept his rule is***totally useless
R20,000 is only a little over $1K.
I understand the crime , but there is no work for the people in SA, do they just sit down and starve to death . the government has to open a source of work .
why is the kid/child handcuffed?...behind even
Where is the human rights commission to defend they people because they citizen of this don't illegal immigrants
The landlord will be out of R10 bail
Then they say people are xenophobic
