“Contralesa is shocked and flabbergasted by utterances by Minister Ntshavheni who said her government won’t even take step to rescue those illegal miners who are trapped at Stilfontein mine. These utterances are shocking coming from a minister of state. It was uncalled for and unnecessary. The minister is contradicting herself because there are many of these prisoners who have raped and killed our poeple but they are being taken care of at our prisons given food and even water.
