The Democratic Alliance in Gauteng has accused the provincial government for dragging their feet, when it comes to addressing matters surrounding illegal mining in the province. The party believes that lives are at risk if the illicit industry is left unabated. The DA says the industry is a big contributor to the increase in tremors, sinkholes, and contact crimes like rape, kidnappings, and gang violence in mining communities. According to the Johannesburg Roads Agency, there is extensive mining directly underneath the road surface, which ‘has compromised the structure of the road and could result in total collapse.’ DA spokesperson for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Nico de Jager says they have submitted questions to Premier Panyaza Lesufi in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature to ascertain if the provincial government has measures in place to address illegal mining in the province.
