The Portfolio Committee on Mineral Resources and Energy says the Department of Mineral Resources has failed to hold mining companies accountable, for not sealing disused mines in the Klerksdorp area in the North West.The Matlosana Local Municipality has some of the most active illegal mining sites in the country. Most are abandoned and left to fester, turning into a haven for criminal elements, that have spilled over to local communities.

Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Mineral Resources and Energy, Sahlulele Luzipo, comments on how the situation of abandon mines was left to deteriorate over time.. We are told that there was an application for liquidation as early as the 1980s up to 1995 and it seems they still want to believe that that liquidation is still in effect. Surely you can’t have a liquidation that sits for more than 30 years.

The deputy police commissioner in the North West Province, Major General Patrick Asaneng, says they have been working at eliminating illegal mining.
