in the mineral-rich Burgersfort area, residents in the area are calling for the government to give illegal miners in the area, mining licenses.

Illegal chrome mining by locals in the Fetakgomo-Tubatse municipal area has boomed over the last couple of years.Big mining houses and locals are all digging for a share of the area’s rich chrome deposits. “I do illegal mining. We use peak to dig and sell it with a wheelbarrow because there are no jobs. Now, I stopped because the value is down. They must give us mining licenses,” says resident and illegal miner, Concilia Mojela.

While the cat-and-mouse game between illegal miners and government continues, the police special investigations unit, the Hawks, says it will be continuing clamping down on illegal mining within the area. This after a recent operation that saw R600 000 of illegally mined chrome ore being confiscated.
