The cost of South Africa’s gold rush – BBC News
Johannesburg in South Africa has one of the world’s largest gold deposits. After decades of mining, large swathes of the population are thought to be exposed to toxic and radioactive mine waste.
The BBC’s Sophie Ribstein went to meet people living close to the dumps to find out what effect it is having on their health.

Nato needs a “quantum leap” in defence to deter threats to the alliance, its secretary general has said, as he called for Western allies to invest more in their armed forces.
In a speech in London, Mark Rutte said Russia could be ready to use military force against Nato within five years.
Rutte said Nato needed a “400% increase in air and missile” to credibly defend itself against attacks.
He said he expected Nato allies to agree to spend 5% of their national income on defence, at a summit in the Netherlands next week.
Rutte’s speech at Chatham House comes at a critical time for global security as Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and China’s military expansion continues to raise questions about Nato’s capabilities and readiness for war.

US President Donald Trump is deploying more National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles as protests in the city continue.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has said he will take legal action against the deployments, calling President Trump “deranged” and “dictatorial”.
Demonstrations in the city continued into a fourth day on Monday, with new rallies starting up across the US against immigration authorities.

Governor says Donald Trump âhoping for chaosâ in LA by deploying National Guard | BBC News
The governor of California has said that President Trump is âhoping for chaosâ by deploying National Guard forces in Los Angeles. Gavin Newsom condemned the move as âpurposefully inflammatoryâ. It comes after three days of protests against immigration raids in the city.
The Los Angeles Police Department have said the protests are largely peaceful and the LA authorities said they could handle the situation.
National Guard troops have been stationed outside the Metropolitan detention centre, one of several sites that have seen confrontations involving hundreds of demonstrators and federal law enforcement officials.
Itâs the first time a US president has deployed the National Guard in the face of civil unrest since the LA riots in 1992. President Trump said: âWe’ll send whatever we need to make sure there’s law and order.â
However Mr Trumpâs Democrat opponents have said the administration’s use of masked immigration officers with military gear to arrest civilians in restaurants and shops has been inflammatory and the president’s eagerness to deploy trained soldiers was unwarranted.

One must mention that these people who are living here are mine slaves coming all the way from their good homes, got the least job at the mine in some forest and decides to create a small shack next to the work place, end up bringing some women over and make babies in the process. this is not a normal community in South Africa. US media likes showing these kind of places intending to show bad image about Africa.

These mine dumps were created in the 40's and 50's. More than half of Johannesburgs roads are built on Tailings. Johannesburg was built around the dumps, not the other way round.
When these dumps were built, places like Modderfontein were farms, I have seen the hand drawn mining plans signed off in the 40's.
I work on these dumps and we are mining them daily and I can tell you that people are quick to blame the mines because they want money and don't take responsibility for their actions and decisions in life.

I see it is well over 1 year since this was posted, and I heard today that Fredrik Gertten and others have just made a movie about this. It can now be seen here in Sweden, and I really look forward to seeing this movie. I never want to buy gold anymore because this is so terrible and scary.

Hundreds, thousands of waste dumps are all over the city. Commercial property and houses are virtually and sometimes build on the dumps so yes try relocate the whole city. The dumps are really in between all areas and the city has surrounded all the dumbs everywhere. They've started to reprocess the dumbs, not sure where the waste is going as its mountains, maybe moving it underground.

Golden Wedge of Ophir — Ophir is a port or a region mentioned in both the Bible and Book of Mormon, famous for its wealth. King Solomon is supposed to have received shipments of gold, silver, sandalwood, precious stones, ivory, apes and peacocks, every three years. The location of Ophir has been a mystery. The blue peacock lives in India and Sri Lanka, while the green peacock is found in Java and Myanmar (formerly Burma). A more distinct and little-known species, the Congo peacock, inhabits African rain forests.
"I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir." – Isaiah 13:12

This is the SA story the BBC chooses to cover?
So why doesn't their black dominated South African government do something to help their poor black South African citizens? Been in power for a couple decades now.
All you pro genociders and virtue signalers should watch this:
