Benoni residents petition government to stop zama-zamas near their homes
the government to stop informal miners from operating near their homes. So far 10,914 of the targeted 20,000 people have signed, they say.
Ward councillors in the area say they have been battling the issue for years. They accuse local law enforcement and the police of failing to secure these mines and failing to act on tip-offs from residents. Several areas have residents reporting hearing explosives every single day. They have zama zamas operating close to their homes and the environment has been badly damaged. Government needs to address illegal mining.
