The High Court in Pretoria is expected to determine the fate of the unknown number of illegal miners

An attorney at the Right2Protest Project at Wits University’s Centre for Applied Legal Studies, Felix Quibe, says the State can argue that assisting illegal miners would be tantamount to aiding and abetting criminality.at a mine in Stilfontein, North West.An organisation called Society for the Protection of our Constitution approached the court for relief for the illegal miners.

Quibe says, “There are reports that some of the miners underground, due to starvation, they don’t necessarily have the power on their own to exit, so they could still need actual assistance from the government. So, they could rely on the right to life which cannot be limited, otherwise the right to health and human dignity.
