So the 2nd interviewee is saying they travelled a long watery distance to come to the hole. The shop owners are receiving the food parcels but they’re keeping everything for themselves. They survive on Hot water, Salt and Six Gun Spice. He only saw 2 dead bodies. Their bosses are releasing them, but they don’t know when the bosses will resurface. He’s estimating that they might be around 170 people where he was. He couldn’t respond to the other questions regarding his age and duration of stay underground due to language barriers.
I feel so sorry for these young men...They are not evil, they work under terrible and dangerous conditions to try and provide for themselves and their families...
@@godfreyberry1599 sad tht u feel this way about 16 year olds that are not robbing raping or killing anyone but instead risking their lives for their livelihood. Wow
@@Her_Self..criminal is a criminal they should be in school not under ground taking what does not belong to them finish. Who don't want to provide for their families?why don't they do this in their countries?useless nxa
There's so much lies among all of them. Reporters, please go and focus on South Africans that are starving to death everyday due to poverty. Leave SAPS deal with all those illegal minors, with their stories.
Correction. The 3rd miner says he was forced to barter his cellphone for 500ml of mageu. He did not sell it for R500 as the reporter translated. But kudos to her overall to trying to speak in different languages.
Yes, I don't speak the language, but I understood it that way. And the part about guns that are underground, the 1st Miner was referring to Six Gun Grill spice that they were eating spice, vinegar, water etc. Kudos to the reporter, she tried.
south African, stop being arrogant, this cases are very serious, it's about time something be done, you will only realize it when your own families are the ones in the same situation
Our families are the police that y’all want to go rescue illegal miners who apparently went to commit a crime because of poverty…. Whose life is more important than the other??
I am surprised by people like Mbangula who denies that there are people underground that are held without their will. I understand that this industry needs to be regulated but what is happening now is crime to keep people underground without their will.
Without a doubt, Ramaphosa is the worst president ever. The fact that he succeeded someone as bad as Zuma tells the sad tale of what this country has been through.
His asking if the people who down there should be assisted as they need assistance inside there. They were not eating anything besides salt, and he has not been able to eat anything for days now. His sharing that the people who are underground are alot and he cannot confirm how many are they.
Is this presenter marriage Steven, if not, inbox me 😂😂😂 It's very big criminal syndicate in this illegally mining, they have operating shops, they question is where they are mastermind in all of this
everyone is going to get out with a painful story we can't buy that this people knew what they were doing Let them go to jail Small fish Big fish everyone
Since most of the illegal miners are apparently from Mozambique, then there should be a Tsonga journalist interviewing them because Shangaan and Tsonga are sister languages... Not this Tswana girl that's speaking broken Zulu with a Shangaan Mozambican...😂😂😂... Their conversation is just confusing...😂😂😂
Refiloe has been absolutely brilliant covering this ongoing story...what a fantastic journalist she is. 👍👍👍🙏👍
Props to the interviewer listening to 5 different languages mixed together and figuring out what they are saying.
🤣🤣🤣
I'm hearing tsonga from the one with the white cloth over his head. I understood most of what he said.

Criminals always play the family and food on the table 💩 when caught. These are violent criminals helping themselves to whatever's not guarded 24/7 .
@godfreyberry1599 I Pray that circumstance will.put you in that position, so that you may learn some humility and compassion
They Criminals and again why don't they go and dig under their mother s homes

Ay we got our own problems to deal with! Why don’t you help them?

Whose life is more important than the other??
What is arrogant about enforcing the law ?
@@ProcaviaCapensis-ts8ubyou can ask that again
AU is useless, SADC is dead, and politicians are clinging to power, there is no hope for Africans.
This is traumatizing
It's tough Africa

Lega mining is regulated. No need to regulate this. This is dangerous.
Those holes must be closed. You go further without Geologist and mining Engineers
3 Mozambicans?
He says, they're eating salt and six gun spice and drink water to survive.
miners are innocent, and victims of abuse by mining kingpins, who are untoucjables
Without a doubt, Ramaphosa is the worst president ever. The fact that he succeeded someone as bad as Zuma tells the sad tale of what this country has been through.
It's clear that the are big fish behind this syndicate.....more investigations must take place.
A community member went down to tell them to surface, they said they were waiting for instruction from there Generals. Makes you wonder.
language barriers for intelligence is crucial if we are really need to gather information
The lust for and after money to the root to all forms of evil!!!!!!😂😂😂
6 guns, they're talking about spice that they're eating, not actual guns.
I understand everybody 😮😮😮😮😮😮

Can Vavi get his ass down there
😂😂😂😂
He won't
Anc,Frelimo,Zanu pf ,Swapo,u sold our people.
The reporters have nothing else to do so they hang out here in stilfontien. The should leave the area so the police can do their work.
Others are dying due to hunger as he concluded.
Lifaka Coolgati😂😂😂😂😂
He is speaking xitsonga
What languages are they speaking?
Just listen don't ask 😂😂😂
Mozambican tsonga/ shangaan mixed with sotho
@@siviwembatane3600 🤣🤣🤣can't hear a thing they say...
@@Le_mire_Thanks, no wonder it's difficulty to follow the conversation lol.
Mozambique

He sold his phone for 500ml of mageu not R500 as in cash our journalist dint listen and happen to report wrong !!!
So des a shop underground😮
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I cain't go

I think he did not say the phone was sold for 500 rand but for 500g of mageu so sad
😢😢💔
Mozambiquans speaking Sesotho?
That one is a Zim Ndebele . The Sotho Tswana tone ya bone is distinct
Phone for 500ml of Mageu

Human rights violation! 😢
Refiloe the 19 year old man says he sold his phone for 500ml Mageu not R500
Is that the phone that was stolen?.
@@godfreyberry1599 Ehh you gave him a stolen phone, you know more about this case than us😂
This is a circus waist of money busy entertaining criminals, lying about there age.can you
zama zama need to be compensated by the mining owners, who seem to be above the law
Compensate who? Illegal miners 😅 nonsense if you were saying ex miners it would make sense but not illegal miners
