Illegal mining will only end through a proper plan with a multifaceted approach, instead of more reactive action from government.

This is according to University of Free State economics Professor Philip Burger, following Thursday’s ministerial briefing on illegal mining by Minerals and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe, Police Minister Bheki Cele, and Home Affairs Director-General Tommy Makhode.

The briefing came after several police special units descended upon Krugersdorp, west of Johannesburg, following the gang rape of eight women and the robbery of their film crew during a music video shoot at West Village.
