A man displays one of the shiny stones that diggers at KwaHlathi in KwaZulu-Natal initially believed to be diamonds.The KwaZulu-Natal government has given the crowd digging for stones — initially believed to be diamonds — at KwaHlathi until Wednesday to leave the site.
On Wednesday, the provincial executive council said that, from Thursday, law enforcement operations would “kick in” and that those who hadn't left the site “will face the full might of the law”. “The provincial executive council has further expressed its concerns about reports that illegal mining is still continuing in the area. The provincial government is urging people to move away from the site and abide by the law with immediate effect,” said the council.A minerals and energy department report last week revealed that what the people have been claiming to be diamonds are actually “quartz crystals”.
Marikana 2.0 🤞 Black must really start using this thing called the LAW!!!
Cruel and corrupt government terrorizing people of KwaHlathi to leave God-given diamond site so that gullible diamond thieves must find a way to loot for themselves.
I see another Marikana comin...
But they live there.
I thought the stay around the place, what's with the rush?
But it was said it's not diamond
Diamonds or not, ok'salayo that's a precious stone. The best the government can do is to assistance the community with determining the nature of the stone and value, give them mining rights; and regulate it. The times are tough; and they're obviously making some money there.
Why? If it is not diamonds why giving people ultimatums? Sies...this government 🤮🤮🤮
Xitaxifambi1 I knew it! They waste no time! 🤣🤣🤣
I see a Chinese company invading that land.
Leave the site or what
PeteRadali we have 6 days
Why
ThokoziP Please checkout my pinned tweet guys
If those are not diamonds why order them to leave the site..
Evil government sis
😂 they have value
Saw this coming
I know white greedy thieves will swoop in next, take everything & turn around and say, it’s all legal & good when they do it...
why? are they going to shoot them? Like at Marikana. Time people fight this government. They getting away with all their corruption and bullshit
Meaning is the real daimond
It is now time for people to show politicians their power over resources and to be threatened with useless police institution is low for provincial govt instead of tabling convincing evidence before this community. Communities must fight these bullies
Let the people dig.
They need to build amatyotyombe there and complicate things even further
Why? Its glass mos and its their own land.
Why ?
Love how people will think just because people are required to stop digging, that means these are real diamonds 😂
SO our people are being given an ultimatum in their own , on their own discovery, so that the government can give the land to the WMC for free. I believe we are led by visionless hypocrites who want to feed only their families and the white Supremes.
Do you see what the ANC is doing Sies😨🤢🤮
Why ? Didn’t you say they were fake 😂😂
This government is really evil on another whole new flippen level🤢🤢🤢🤮
Why?
Kushubile! Urhulumente we ANC is doing it again.
LuckyMkhisto2 Not the government literally stealing from the people😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣 phumani sizongena kahle
ANC is best at that...
Why must they leave it?
Why?
Those crystals are now worth something because under them is the real riches. Tsek la gafa maan. People of Ladysmith must stand their ground. A go nyeewe once!
Why because the same government said it wasn't diamonds. That place has been neglected for years when it comes to basic service delivery and poverty there is high.What did people ever do to deserve this nonsensical Anc.
Khal'ipiki nefosholo! one way
If there was any value, the white man would have stolen it centuries ago
Or what?
Why? waste government resources (vans, fuel, police, etc) and risking violent confrontation for valueless stones🤔, this government thinks we are not sober or something 😂
Please, not another Marikana.
If it's valueless why does the government care?
Mintek_RSA kzngov PresidencyZA Besides Covid-19 lockdown level 3 rules what other reasons must the people move from that site, experts appointed by u said 'there's no value to those stones' leave the pple to dig their 'valueless' stones SAPoliceService remember Marikana
Ooh suddenly it's a 'site' now?
Phislash I was telling my mom just a week ago that this will happen
But where there's quartz , there's a possibility of gold and diamonds being there too
GCIS_KZN sihlezikalala kzngov SAPoliceService is true that you said the people must move from that area of kwahlathi if it's true for what?
Do those people honestly think those stones are diamonds? Our phipholo mara.. haikhona 🤦🏾♂️
Leave the site for what? Angithi the stones are not 'diamonds'
MelatoMatlokots And we still vote them in to power even if they shoot us
lmao thought the expect sent said the stone had no value
They must leave people alone... it's their land. They must mine if they want to.
Why chase them away
Lolll. Are they still digging?
Why should they move?
GLekhuleni They will give mining rights to foreign companies who will give them BBEEE shares & stakes. They think they are the only ones who should benefit.
No,is isth special(diamonds or mere stones?d only reason why thy could be asked to leave is if what they were toldo was not is not
Leave our people alone.. I wish they can get some privately to confirm their stones.. Foreigners are digging every day mus!!!
I saw that coming ppl 2 stop digging or what shoot them like marikana whos land does it belongs 2 to the police ?police should b asking 4 their salary increase instead of shooting ppl 4 digging the nature so that govement can sell those stones to other countries?
Or what?
Government ya buloyi
It is a trap they want to take over
The ANC government is about to unleash the ruthless police officers on the innocent residents instead of finding ways on how they can work together for the benefit of the community. Mr 'Concomitant Action' is now the president, he is even more dangerous than before.
This has all signs of the government trying to rip those people off!!
Why would police intervene if what is dug by people is valueless?
For what axactly, but I am happy they in KZN not cowards like NW, they will see what revolt means. They killed poor people from Marikana, now they want to kill more
We're not leaving. Ngeke sizwe ngabo
So the government wants to dig the diamond...alone Someone has won a tender ...to mine the area.
Or what shoot them down like the 34 marikana miners?
Yehheni
Nakhoke engathi kuthiwe ubhumbayi nje kwasekufanele ba move oute manje futhi ayi kubi kunzima
How evil is this government and don’t want to emancipate black people🤮🤮🤮🤮
Why?....its nature
