Suspected illegal miners underground at two shafts in Stilfontein, North West, may be in for a longer wait for much-needed aid — despite another court ruling in their favour. This as four more miners, also known as zama zamas, resurfaced on Monday morning. The Pretoria high court on Sunday ordered the North West community safety and transport MEC, police and mineral resources ministers, along with several other respondents, “within two hours of the court order being handed down, allow community members, charitable organisations and interested parties to in an orderly manner provide humanitarian aid including water, food and medication to the artisanal miners trapped underground at shafts 10 and 11 of the Buffelsfontein gold mine”. Thabiso Tema spoke with Thembile Botman, Community Leader.
