“We are living in fear, we can’t even go to buy bread at night because we live in fear of being attacked by illegal miners.” An Uber driver who also stays in Mqandashe hostel in Kagiso says they don’t trust local police because they don’t arrest illegal miners working in the abandoned mines located nearby.

According to some residents, the zama zamas bribe the cops to keep them out of the way of their illicit mining activities.
