Sekhukhune residents welcome the arrest of two people in R20 million chrome bust.

Some Sekhukhune residents in Limpopo have cautiously welcomed the arrest of two people believed to be directors of a company that was found in possession of chrome worth R20-million.last week, has been hailed as a milestone in efforts to dismantle illegal mining rings in the mineral-rich Sekhukhune area. Locals have, however, reiterated calls for the issuing of small-scale mining licenses.

A local police officer alleges that some law enforcement officers in the area are in cahoots with illegal mining rings. The officer says this as officers’ salaries are not enough to feed their families. At Ga-Maroga, most economic activities have ground to a halt. The impoverished village is largely dependent on illegal mining activities.

“It’s tough, this area was flourishing. Those who are not working are now stuck. They were working, they were mining even though it is illegal. The reason why they were doing that it is because they don’t have other means. They were mining, they were making money, the economy is down. Shops are closed now. People are now stealing. We just want a license even if it is just permits. We know people die when they mine illegally but if we get permits then it will be regulated.
