We are Zama Zama – BBC Africa Eye documentary


Every day they go to work, they have no idea whether they will return home alive. They are Zama Zamas – men who risk everything to go deep underground in South Africa’s dangerous disused gold mines to scratch a living.

  1. HAHAHAHAHAHA "the white man closed the mine because the black man was taking power" hahahahahahahha what the fffkkk! its closed because the black man ran it and ran it into thge ground! you egghead!!

  2. This goes for any country, uplift your fellow citizens as a tip priority FIRST,then unlawfully miration might possibly come to an end and also less stress to all these internationally human rights groups who in my view is feeding the market by creating even more unnecessary stress on countries thats undergoing problems of their own.The governments from which all these poor people unlawfully migrate from should be ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES,thats if they have a clear conscience at all.

  3. What l will say guys what kills us as fellow Zimbabwean if life is hard where trying we are afraid to go back home and try again because we thought people they will laugh at us .let's take that mind off its okay to go back home if things are not working our thre.

  4. You forget to show how these miners shoot and murder innocent people and how they terrorize the residents living there, legally. But you won’t show that, would you? No, because then there will be no compassion.

  5. In my view these guys enjoy mining. I would too! But I can certainly say that it is easier to collaborate and go into farming and make money farming than mining. They love danger like real men.

  6. They rape and kill with out thinking twice, the government has been lazy to deal with this situation because some the people in government benefits from the Zama zamas, we need to eradicate such un lawful behaviours. No excuses and all be deported to there countries.

  7. Our country's justice system is very weak always wait for a small problem to rise to an uncontrollable circumstances before acting up,this could have been stopped a long ago.but because of ruthless politicians we are where we are today.take for instance how during lockdown soldiers were deported in less than a week but this took forever.

  8. This is utter disgrace. When the communities started complaining about this national security threat, politicians and the media wanted to be politically correct.
