#DEATHSENTENCE

 

The community members are exposed to the death sentence aa a results of sicknesses and diseases caused by the mining and industries around them.

This is happening in the Mpumalanga Province Highveld Region of Emalahleni Local Municipality where the communities are neighbours to mines and industries.

It happened when my children become 5 months old they start having complications and end up being diagnosed asthmatic.

My two kids and their mom are the most affected as the mothers are easily affected to see kids being suffering having difficulty in breathing as an unemployed woman.

The mother come looking for job opportunities and she met a who gave her two kids and get lost leaving her with this heavy burden upon her shoulders.

The doctor’s told the mother to relocate so that the children can have better life which is difficult for her to do.

The Department’s dealing with mining must be a go between the communities and the industries together with the mining companies.
