Some of the gold bearing material discovered at an illegal mining operation in Pongola in KwaZulu-Natal on 21 November 2024.
Provincial police spokesperson Robert Neshiunda says, “Police operationalised intelligence about illicit mining activities in the area and upon arrival at the scene, the four suspected illegal miners were caught in the act of processing gold. They were found with mining equipment including explosives.”
The Portfolio Committee on Mining and Mineral Resources says there is a need for artisanal mining and small-scale mining to be formalised and integrated into the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Regulations Act.
