Oh South Africa, we grieve
The tragedy of sixteen lives lost
The leak in the shanty town
Tied to illegal gold mining, we mourn
We stand with those affected and its cost

In Ghana, illegal miners known as galamseyers are carrying out an increasing share of the country’s gold production.

In recent years, these miners have been sourcing machinery from China.

The mechanization of gold mining is accelerating the destruction of forests and farms, as well as polluting waterways in northern and eastern Ghana.
