Not exactly groundbreaking nor thorough nor in depth enough to expose the cabal behind it all. It's been happening for years and I too have been threatened for trying to report it to officials and law enforcement. Actually just makes me sick to see the JMPD there out in force when I know for a fact that they buy the skins themselves and take bribe money regularly. I've written to CB years ago about what's happening there and finally there is a bit of a story, too little too late, so sad. They need to follow the money and expose the top corrupt officials behind the decay. Crime is Massive business as it ensures you pay more for security and more in your premiums for insurance etc etc. Those heavily armed and over paid security guards acting all buff wouldn't have their current jobs and the security companies charging massive amounts for government to collect ever more in the form of additional taxes wouldn't exist if the terrorists in power never allowed it to happen in the 1st place.
No chance!! Again, 6 weeks before the elections cANCerous bodies will walk in the poorest most unhygienic parts of our gorgeous country and again promise the heavens will open with : - instant qualifications no schools or tertiary institutes required - the govt. sector quadruple its incompetent staff complement - they shall blame the inconsistent (dangerous?) water and electricity supplies on any and everything (*) except themselves 🤔 (Jan van Riebeeck - he did not arrive with sufficient supplies for today’s nation, the previous regime hid all the secrets of both water and electricity which has required of the govt. to re-invent these resources … on their own !

ANC never dig any holes for mines those who dig holes for mines and hiring people from Lesotho 🇱🇸, Zimbabwe 🇿🇼, Mozambique 🇲🇿, Swaziland 🇸🇿 and Malawi 🇲🇼 has taught them how to mine. Why they didn’t decommission it as they did to nuclear ☢️, who are the clients of the zama zama that also must be investigated. The clients are encouraging zama zama to do this.
To think how scary it is just to walk in down town Joburg in daylight, watching you guys walk on the territorry of zama zamas gives me chills down my spine. I always ask myself why is SA being intentially being riped apart, what is the force required to destoy those allowing this to happen? Great journalism guys. Much respect.
I wish the majority of SA cared about what this leads to the lack of jobs crime etc etc but atleast in KZN they couldn't care a hoot and it's the marginalised that actually trying to stand up for the country.
but who can take ANCs place as the DA are not a strong hold when it comes to crime Cape Town city is divided by 'mafia' groups and the ward counselors they chose are like church camp leaders
Feels like I’m watching an sci-fi horror, yet this is RSA. It’s sad how everything is deteriorating in our country and yet you’ll never hear one government official saying a word about this, when people uprise it’s called xenophobia
Lourensa You really are one very brave and curious girl. This is journalism of the highest (dangerous) class. It is not even necessary to leave Joburg for a war zone, it is just below the surface.
THIS JOURNALIST IS BRAVE: GOING STRAIGHT INTO GOTHAM WITH CAMERAS, ETC. PROPS TO HER AND THE CREW THROUGH💯👏🏿 REALLY INSIGHTFUL. AND ALSO THE CASUAL SWITCHING BETWEEN ENGLISH AND AFRIKAANS MADE THIS SOUND A LOT MORE GROUNDED AND AUTHENTIC👌🏿
@@jamesthomson13 Nope. California is where the soul goes to die. They tax you to death there just like SA. Crime is out of control. Especially in San Francisco. Turning into a little SA itself. Im just thinking if you have to leave SA, why go there of all places?
After rehabilitation of the mines security must be in place. The mining companies made lots of money from these mines and they can't just walk away and say that they have fulfilled some of their obligations. The other problem is how is that foreigners are breaking the laws in South Africa and are getting away with it?
Get rid of the ANC. This is going to get out of hand . High calibre machine guns and anti air craft guns . Maintaining the infrastructure and maintaining law and order is something these people just can get there head around . They only know how to destroy
Instead of starting at the bottom of the trade they should start at the top and work their way down, for every 100 Zama zamas their is 1 top buyer. If the Zama zamas have no one to sell to their will be less of them. Start at the top and work your way down.
Come and check out the historic town of Pilgrims Rest, Zama Zama's are destroying the heritage and causing damage to the environment as they mine along the many rivers and streams
Maybe im an idiot; but why don't they just level the place with a few dynamites strategically placed, give them a few hours to get out, and level this place
The issue is by the looks of it the network of mines and old infrastructure spans so wide and is not completely documented. So by blowing the tunnels closed might only be a patch solution until they find a new way in. Plus, by the looks of it, they can gain access to the old mine tunnels via legitimate access points like sewage manholes and other infrastructure access points.
Most of the companies that owned these mines are still operating today, what have they done to rehabilitate the land? Nothing. They made their profits and dashed.
believe me the issue of Zama zamas is not a South African problem only it's an African continent problem,but some countries are dealing with the problem differently in Zimbabwe they were given small mines that are monitored away from communities and they are contributing positive to the economy ....l feel they need to do the same or they have to fight with them daily imagine now they have into air guns...they are slowly becoming more dangerous by the day
I personally blame Foreign nationals... 2. The entire government for not diagnosing this and acting earlier. 3. the ANC itself for not prioritising this issue. 4. The black majority citizens of South Africa, because fact is the ANC government is leading passive citizens, no matter how great the laws are the people who are employed to enforce are very passive, they don't innovate new solutions to such problems.
America USA Anglo-American companies must be blamed for all these destructions. They dug up huge holes during their operations and just abandoned and left the shafts still open. So, now illegal mining criminals make use of those holes to destruct the Joburg infrastructure. ANC government cannot held accountable all those American mining companies that have destructed their country.
Excellent journalism. The zama-zama threat spread quite further than Johannesburg though. I am living in Welkom , Frrstate Goldfields and here the threat is even more prevalent and dangarous seeing that active mining operations is encountering zamas on a daily basis. More thorough investigation is needed to be done here. In a sense I think mining houses pursuit of profit and negligence in not properly closing and shutting of abandoned shafts are partly at fault for this problem. No proper reabilitation of old abandoned mining properties.
but who is buying illegal gold from these poor zama zamas.....who is financing it ? i wont suprise if there are some politicians or high ranking officials behind it.....
It starts with you the public not biting every form of reporting and counting it as truth. They could have interviewed the zama zamas and get their reasoning and also talk about the legal mining companies, and how hard it is for locals to get licensing and equipment. What is really behind this can only be found once real journalism is done. Moving with enforcers from one side says nothing to me because we all should know, such operations can't work on their own, someone higher up is always involved
I noticed explosives from Zambia and Zimbabwe, those Zamas are the bottom of the food chain the top ones are untouchable and it would be of no surprise if the ANC is heavily involved
If the ANC wins the next general election in South Africa, the remaining valuable/competent professionals who have yet to leave South Africa, will leave. That will be the end of the competent middle class and competent investment. It will just descend further into chaos fueled by incompetence. It's like South Africa is just regressing to the mean despite all of the technological discoveries that should have improved everything in all industries.

You made me think when I was almost sold .. but why is this Sothos dancing with guns? Seems to me that our country is being hijacked by illegal immigrants commiting iilegal crimes regardless of their reason. I also think that there is no solution to this problem. The government has failed and these are the consequences,
The government is simply not doing enough. Our police force is majorly understaffed, under-equipped and under-trained. We are steered toward a complete collapse of law and order, something the government will only realise when it is likely too late to fix.
If maybe we start calling them by the write name. ZamaZama is someone trying to make a living. These people have pistols bigger and more dangerous than our defense forces. They are will to do crime to continue their criminality
Upon further research the doucha does not exist,I think it a spelling error meant to say Dushka which is a belt fed heavy machine gun(Russian ) shown is clearly a bolt action rifle so very likely a stolen hunting rifle with scope
That's part of the plan to destabilise SA. The political party that brings order to the chaos is seen as a saviour, even tho they may be the originators of the chaos.
How do you know the government is not responsible for this? You think the government is going to let anyone just take these resources to sell for themselves? Must be kidding. Where do these ppl get these types of guns? From the government...
As a south Africa abroad I'm very concern about this situation I got family who has been telling me about during the night how the Zama Zamas walk through the streets to do mining not fare from where the stay in Riverlea near JHB.
If not ourselves, who are the people to fight corruption? Corruption is a sickness that can only be cured by a collective participation of law enforcement agencies, committed individuals and with the assistance from companies like Carte Blanche who are determined to combat the evil decease.

Haven't seen such great journalism in a while. Thank you Carte Blanche. What is our government doing about this?
The ANC is doing nothing, will not do anything. And do you call it a GOVERNMENT? Dogs and pigs can govern better...
Cele is looking for people to clap hands 😂😂😂😂😂
Nothing as usual....😕
They're looking for more of them to do this so that they (the government) can pocket more
They are involved...if they weren't they would have stopped it a long time ago...

Is time for the ANC to be out next year and have a coalition government
Does this look like downtown Joburg to you?
@october yes its is, they then sell the meat or should I day skin to Nigerias
Greed is the force that drives the zama zamas
Get rid of the ANC and let competence get rid of the crime.

Greetings from an ex-South Africa resident in San Francisco, California. This is a scary story. Thanks for being brave enough to present it!!!
You are so lucky I wish I could leave too 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Sad that you live in San Fran now. That place has turned into a massive dump.

Why doesn't the government hold the mining companies accountable for rehabilitation of the areas and fill up all the shafts?
They fill the shafts but they dig around it or break through huge concrete blocks.
Mines do close up shafts, and they get broken open again.
And how do you suggest they permanently do that? Anything can be broken when crime is the issue 😊
After rehabilitation of the mines security must be in place. The mining companies made lots of money from these mines and they can't just walk away and say that they have fulfilled some of their obligations. The other problem is how is that foreigners are breaking the laws in South Africa and are getting away with it?
Let people mine the left overs
Your team was brave to go there. What a nightmare from every angle
Brave but each of their security has SMGs? Be real
Lol smgs? Someone needs to brush up on their firearm knowledge.
We have seen the 4 episodes of the gold Mafia; they are ANC soldiers.
Brilliant reporting! Terrifying too! Thanks from a Joburg immigrant in Boston
Get rid of the ANC. This is going to get out of hand . High calibre machine guns and anti air craft guns . Maintaining the infrastructure and maintaining law and order is something these people just can get there head around . They only know how to destroy
Send them of to Palestine
Instead of starting at the bottom of the trade they should start at the top and work their way down, for every 100 Zama zamas their is 1 top buyer. If the Zama zamas have no one to sell to their will be less of them. Start at the top and work your way down.
This takes me back to the doccie AlJazeera once did.
I fully agree. Together with border control, they won't have a market to sell to locally and won't be able to take it out of the country either
The only comment that makes sense here. I mean really now guys, thing That one top guy is probably politically connected.
Don't know. Gold will always have value in which form whatsoever and you do not need HiTech to refine
That would be the entire ANC bud.
Excellent reporting ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The impact of illegal mining has far-reaching consequences. Poverty, desperation and greed as well
Thank you for coming to this place we’ve been telling the police about this place but they don’t do anything about it
Where's this place?

I took a slow drive into Pilgrims recently.... to revisit the Royal Hotel.
Bad idea.
Within 3 minutes, I took a fast drive out again.
Artisinal mining. Is like calling a shack an informal dwelling.
Whatever you are paying that reporter it is too little. Imagine being a resident in those areas.
Maybe im an idiot; but why don't they just level the place with a few dynamites strategically placed, give them a few hours to get out, and level this place

Brave Journalism right there. Carte Blance you are special!!!!

SÁ is being destabilized intentionally, so many problems from so many sides, how do you sort this out
It starts with you the public not biting every form of reporting and counting it as truth. They could have interviewed the zama zamas and get their reasoning and also talk about the legal mining companies, and how hard it is for locals to get licensing and equipment. What is really behind this can only be found once real journalism is done. Moving with enforcers from one side says nothing to me because we all should know, such operations can't work on their own, someone higher up is always involved
Correct. Sabotage
I noticed explosives from Zambia and Zimbabwe, those Zamas are the bottom of the food chain the top ones are untouchable and it would be of no surprise if the ANC is heavily involved
If the ANC wins the next general election in South Africa, the remaining valuable/competent professionals who have yet to leave South Africa, will leave. That will be the end of the competent middle class and competent investment. It will just descend further into chaos fueled by incompetence.

The question that should be posed is: How much of the money is going into their pockets and how many of them (ANC) are involved ?!
They don't care

How is this allowed out in the open? Unless some authoritative figures are benefiting from all of this.
If maybe we start calling them by the write name. ZamaZama is someone trying to make a living. These people have pistols bigger and more dangerous than our defense forces. They are will to do crime to continue their criminality
Gwede Mantash is the culprit just invite him!!!

We should pump in concrete to seal the tunnels and support the city fully
What beats me is why doesnt govt design a regulated system where ordinary ppl can benefit. Clearly there is still enough for all.
Government and the mineral rights both belong to foreign interests, we got what we voted for.

Why does Everything have to get out of control???? Before fixing the problem!;;
That's part of the plan to destabilise SA. The political party that brings order to the chaos is seen as a saviour, even tho they may be the originators of the chaos.
