Illegal Mining & Security Intelligence Conference

ILLEGAL mining in South Africa, driven by "zama zamas," is a major crisis costing over R70 billion annually in lost gold, while fueling violent crime and causing severe environmental damage. These illegal operations, often involving armed syndicates, operate in abandoned and active mines, threatening industry stability and community safety.

For more than a century, South Africa was the world’s largest producer of gold, more of the precious metal having been extracted from its reserves than in the rest of the world combined. Today, however, many of these mines have closed and new waves of migrants are entering the abandoned, but unsealed mine shafts to scavenge for the remaining gold.

The "Zama Zamas", Thousands of mostly undocumented foreign nationals and unemployed locals act as artisanal miners, working in highly dangerous, unregulated conditions. The crisis is forcing residents in areas like Gauteng, North West to flee their homes due to escalating violence from armed illegal miners.
