REV. JO SEOKA | Some lessons ought to have been learnt from mining communities to avoid further spreading of the virus among scholars and congregants.

The easing of the lockdown, particularly in industries such as mining, has confirmed what Paul Getty, an American financier once said:"The meek shall inherit the earth, but not its mineral resources."

There is sufficient evidence that since the mines were given the privilege to reopen their plants and call miners back to work, there has been an increase in deaths resulting from Covid-19.For instance, Marula, an Impala Platinum mine in Limpopo, temporarily closed as a result of 19 of its workers testing positive. And in the North West, Sibanye Stillwater confirmed in its report that among those tested, 51 miners were found to be positive for Covid-19.
