BLASTING IN THE MINES

Blasting in the mines

#CRACKINGHOUSES

There was a mine called Kromdraai next to our place. The mine causes a big damage in our community during their operation when extracting coal by blasting without notifying us when to blast so that we can be ready.

It happened when they were Blasting. they cause cracks to many houses the sad part is that e are staying in the RDP houses so is difficult for us as we are unemployed it is a big burden to fix the cracks.
Now Kromdraai mine is gone we don’t know who is going to help us with this problem. They just mine next to our place. And they leave us just like that.

This problem happened in Emalahleni Extion18. This is not good at all because we don’t have money to fix my house.

This needs the department of minerals resources and energy to take actions to the owners of Kromdraai mine so they can come back to fix the mess that they caused before they left.
