@@Greg16350 Why???, would you charge drug enforcement agencies with human right crimes for stopping drug cartels from selling drugs to people.Since when did crime become legal.
They aren't trapped, they refuse to come out because they don't want to face criminal charges for illegal mining and human trafficking, amongst other offences. Some have already resurfaced by choice. And the rest have been sent food and other essentials by aid orgs
Theyre not refusing. Its not easy to come out of there. you have to be pulled up by the people on the surface, and the progress has been very slow. I live here, and I've been there to see @Gavi_255
Your input is biased, try to understand that even locals engage in illegal activities. I wonder in your half slanted mind it's only foreigners in South Africa who take 💩 in the toilet. Your statement is soo into the box.
Let them 😂 they are trying to get the upper hand through sympathy and it's not like they can't come out 😂 they REFUSE to..... make your bed and lie in it 😂
The world must report this insadent correctly. Miners were not trapped. They refuse to exit the mine. Deur to that they were afraid to be arrested. They were stealing SA minerals elegaly. They were also in the country legal. There were no sap personnel who kept down there. They were required to service but refused. SA can not be held responsible for the condition or state they were in it was totoly they're owner desision.
@rasobiyahman where did you see local language? You do know Lesotho is a country within South Africa? And Zimbabwe and Mozambique share the same tribes as South Africa. Besides in South Africa there illegal immigrants living in this country for over 10yrs many can speak the local languages
Even southafricans are there, its hal f half those die hards are southe afrialcans and they are the once taking foreiners captivs,don mislead the world u know the truth,
@@ntswakimoloi2084 that is what sap is doing. But keep an eye so that no body will harm them. And medical staff is there to assist if treatment is requested. But not to hand them a diploma and gifts. But a diplomatic transfer back to their home country.
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??!!
U are useless. Instead of explaining the topic at hand u talking nonsense.. It has been said these are outsiders/foreigners. How foreigners got her. Your aoarthetheid grandfather's allowed these ppl as labourers. So dnt act innocent as if your forefathers ddnt allow foreigners for cheap labourers hence influx of these ppl and illegal ones
Your journalism is pathetic, you need to investigate the issue first before reporting propaganda 1. These are not South African miners, these are illegal miners, the majority of them are illegal people from Lesotho, Mozambique and Zimbabweans, with some South Africans of course. 2. These illegal miners refused to come out because the police were ready to arrest them, some did and what they are doing now, the bosses underground stops them from resurfacing. 3. The police blocked the outside supply of food and water so that they can come out, the NGO took the matter to court and the court ruled that they should receive food and the food and water was allowed, but still they would not resurface, except for the few who managed t escape, because they are blocked by criminals. 4. Those who managed to come out claim that the criminal bosses controls the food and water that is sent underground, giving them less food and keeping the rest for themselves. 5. They now demanded ARVs and other etc, they are do not intend to leave.
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.
This reminds me of Lon Fullers Speluncean Explorers Cave story. Whitmore threw the fatal dice to his demise, was killed and eaten by his fellow survivors. Subsequently charged for murder. Yo, now South Africa. 🇿🇦🇿🇦😭😭 2:08

It's not technically theirs, they are not from that country from what I understood. If they want to benefit from it they were thousands more safer and legal ways
Glencore mining company maybe involved here they are the ones mining in that area and they are on record admitting to corruption and were fined by Trump's USA in 2016 they are a Swiss company makes sense the gold is heading to Switzerland
Let their country be informed of this matter their presints be the ones who bring for....south African put police there to arrest them when they decide to come out
They aren't trapped, they refuse to come out. They need to choose, which is more important, life or freedom. Remember they are illegally mining.
SA needs to be charged with crimes against humanity.

Most of the story is true but the cannibalism part is a lie..... Those people just refused to resurfaced

Send these outspoken NGOs down to help these illegal miners, actions speak louder than words !!!
Get the facts staight
They are not trapped . They are all linked to crime . They don't want their finger prints taken .
Firstpost constantly spreads faulse news when it comes to South Africa, im starting to think this is deliberate
You are sending lies

that they have been doing for 30 years , doing nothing, only steel money

As long as we don't trade for worse. God help us.
They are no such thing they are intimidating South Africans because they know our government is too soft
Because of the 😢😢 spineless Government
Don't fall for it. It is a trick.
They are not trapped please
They did send a letter wanting Mayonnaise to be send down underground to them now they send a letter that they r eating human mxm
yes, and tomato sauce. Maybe the person-meat they claim to be eating is too bland
@@tickledtoffeeall this while we just sit back and watch. Typical South Africa
Yes human flesh with mayonaise
Delusional. There are illegal immigrants here but they have learned SAcn languages
Thanks to the comments section I have a better view because trapped people can say "send us food and water" if there was no means to get to them.
Imagine avoiding arrest for a stupid charge like mining by eating your collueges.
Who trapped them,??
thy not trapped, thy go down willingly
Who owns these mines? Who buys the illegally obtained minerals?
The king of England
@@user4k6325fwho owns it.not England.listen well before you comment

zimbabwean illegal miners not south african miners
Even if they are South Africans they are even wrong for what they are doing

It's their choice they are illigal here doing illigal activities now, force us to give them food

Mines abandoned by who...?
Dmre didn't enforce the law and don't do what they are supposed to do. Typical ANC
They must just come out
They are not trapped 🙊🙉🙈
South Africans are not doing this why are they doing it
It's their problem , why are you blaming the authorities?
Nobody is eating anyone , just a strategy to get police to supply food 😂😂😂
They are from Lesotho 😢
They're not trapped. They choose to be cannibals.
did they make a potjie or a braai?
They giving them food n water. Mxm I swear this government has a weak heart.
The government must re-open those mines to create more jobs in mining
now the zamas are calling the shots?

Eshhhhhh yah neh life is hard
Aint nobody tryna go to jail. This has gone to far and if any of these people still trapped are to be free they will be mentally ill for society.
They turned to cannibalism that's tough

South Africa will face in ICC for starving miners
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So, they can come out but refuse to do so. I’m annoyed
Wow that really happening they need to rescue those people
So that is what the mayonnaise was for? 😂😂😂😂
Chilling letter my foot
Feeding them is beyond stupide
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.
We will go to their countries legally & not engage in crime.
They come here illegally, engage in crimes and then want sympathy.
Very well reported
They're not trapped. The rest will be a history of their own making
So what if they are not SA do you SA go after the non black Europeans that have been stealing your resources, they the ones that should be jailed.
😅😅hyaayi yi jokes nyani lelizwe hyoo..inkonga ingane zethu kuyo yonke lento
There is no one comes from Zimbabwe who do minnes except South Africans
People asking for mayonnaise are trapped??? I think they having a time of their lives down there

Not miners! They are illegal! Full stop!
