Community leader Skeelo Moswang says, “As you can see, we have shut down their shaft – this is where they process gold – they only rented this place to refine gold.” Large bathtubs filled with soiled water, and bags containing refined soil bore testimony to the illegal mining operation they embarked upon. The owner of the house, who prefers to remain anonymous says she has been trying to chase them away, but they refused after realising that what they are doing is unlawful.

Residents of Soul City informal settlement – also in Kagiso – apprehended 19 illegal miners near the Tudor shaft. They were stripped naked and whipped – before they were rescued by the police.
