-'Tshasa' March Motene
In the early hours of Wednesday 07/03/2012 a terrifying blast from Royal
Bafokeng Platinum mine operations woke most of the Chaneng residents up. Unfortunately, one
community member of Ramogotsi Section woke up to find the outer wall of his
house collapsed due to the horrific blast.
The traumatized owner of the house
is in distress as he does not know where he will get the money to fix his house
and his household properties open to the public, and probably thieves. The poor
father has even placed a zinc washing bath to fill the gap left by the
collapsed wall.
The community of Chaneng has
complained several times in the community meetings about this blasting caused
by the Royal Bafokeng Platinum mine, whose leader is the Bafokeng chief.
Leaders of Chaneng youth have tried engaging the mines and the chief about this
blasting that leads to cracking of the houses. Their complaints fell on deaf
ears. Now that a wall has collapsed due to this blasting, who should take the
responsibility to fix the fallen wall? Is the Public Protector, Thuli Madonsela,
or the Human Rights Commission not interested in such abuses against the poor community
of Chaneng?
WAKE UP!
ReplyDeleteDo you really think this is a matter that can be resolved by dialogue?
How far do you want to be on the road to obliteration before you see what these monsters are doing to your future.
THEY EVEN BOAST ABOUT THEIR TERROR AND PILLAGE:
