South Africa’s government says it won’t help a group of illegal miners inside a closed mine who have been denied access to basic supplies as part of an official strategy against illegal mining.

The group has been in a mineshaft in Stilfontein, in the North West province, for about a month.

  1. South Africa is playing with fire,is this how the GNU operates?and if so, there's fire waiting to begin,and if my mind serves me right,I think of Marikana,ask ramaphosa

  2. BBC getting to accustomed to spreading lies and deceit across the world. Twisting stories for narrative, withholding important information and context to sway perception. We see you BBC. All journalistic credibility has vanished.

  3. Woww The BBC in the UK as Usual Spinning their Own Fantasy Story. The Miners are ILLEGAL FOREIGNERS. It's Not ROCKET SCIENCE BBC NEWS. ILLEGAL FOREIGNERS in the UK gets Deported Everyday. So the Same Goes For Illegal Miners in South Africa and Any Other Country. STOP changing the NARRATIVE to Suit the UK Television Viewers.

  4. As per normal you main stream media keep reporting lies, they are not trapped, they are refusing to come out. They are heavily armed illegal foreigners. I have no remorse for these criminals. They terrorise the communities with in the area. I support the government here 100%.

  5. "LITERALLY TRYING TO MAKE ENDS MEET" WHILE IN FACT COMMITTING CRIME MINING ILLEGALLY AND ALSO HEAVILY ARMED, COMPLETELY AND OPENLY DISRESPECTING THE LAW AND RESISTING ARREST BY REFUSING TO RESURFACE. JUST CAN'T STAND THE MEDIA SOMETIMES AND MORE SO OUR CONSTITUTION.

  6. THEY ARE NOT TRAPPED… 👎🏻😠
    NOBODY CLOSED ANY ENTRANCES!!
    The illegal miners are CHOOSING to REMAIN underground rather than facing justice…
    These illegal miners are HEAVILY ARMED! You can't send rescue workers down there without the necessary protection!

    These miners are keeping themselves hostage…

  7. U can’t give jobs to people but sell your land to multinationals and still u remove black illegal miners and use the name of apartheid in elections u r just monkeys who r in power

  8. They refused to come out lol. It may sound off topic but I chanced on this cool translator that does everything and more of what a translator should have, name is Immersive Translate and one thing that can really help is it’s new feature, which lets you create a custom AI expert for translating anything. Thank me later, it's gold.

  9. IF ONLY OUR GOVT TREATED ILLEGALS AS CRIMINALS

    WE SHOULD TREAT OUR GOVT AND ALL IS SPOKEPERSONS GUILTY OF DECEIT WITH MISINFORMATION DISINFORMATION AND OUTRIGHT LIES

    SMASH THE BBC FASH

  10. Being from SA, I would raise this likelihood: there might in fact be miners who are ready to surrender and come out , but others who are in possession of deadly weapons not permitting that to happen 😢(it’s possible)
