Petition for urgent action against illegal mining
Sign this petition calling for urgent intervention by national government to address the continuous illegal mining activities by Zama-Zamas in the City of Ekurhuleni.
The illegal mining is a cause of major concern for residents. It causes huge tremors, and is accompanied by explosions and gunfights between rival gangs.
Not only does the illegal activity have a major impact on the environment (due to holes, blocked rivers and broken sewerage lines), it is damaging infrastructure and assets, chasing away business, and putting the lives and health of residents at risk.
Sign this petition calling on the portfolio committees of Mineral Resources & Energy and Forestry & Fisheries, SAPS, and Home Affairs to work together to address this crisis now. The local SAPS, EMPD and security companies simply do not have the manpower to deal with this.
For more details contact DA Member of Parliament, Haseena Ismail, on 066 043 7915 or hismail@parliament.gov.za.
