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.
Filmed and edited by Christian Parkinson.

we look at Israelâs reaction to UK sanctions against Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
The Israeli foreign minister Gideon Saar announced retaliatory counter-measures, including the closure of the British Consulate in Jerusalem. Meanwhile in the UK, foreign secretary Ed Miliband has disagreed with Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis who described the move as a “truly dark day” that put British Jews in greater danger.
We also look at the implications in the lead up to the October Israeli elections, and for the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Adam Fleming discusses the continued fallout between Britain and Israel with chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet and Panorama filmmaker Jane Corbin.

Mr Merz said the result had shaken his conservative CDU to its core, signalling the need for a major reckoning.

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:
