Yes they were headlines you got more news here on aljazeera right after south africa toxic city by fire. At 1st glance they could be the remains of an ancient civilization. Or an eye catching natural phenomenon. These strange hills surround johannas back. The largest city in south africa. But their beauty is deceptive and toxic. In fact the dunes are made up of mining waste. From. The leftovers of south africas most profitable industries. And within the life some disturbing secrets. Now it seems that heart wrenching journalists must time to do has uncovered the shocking truth of exactly whats in these mind tapes and just how deadly they may be. Sunrise america river basin. One of south africas largest freshwater reserves. Bridget corrigan is a botanist. And a specialist in the regions biodiversity. This is a very special catchment for a lot of reasons if its our unique biodiversity from not just the terrestrial but also the 1st one of our diversity is very special its got about 14 species of fish and a lot of really an demick species of invertebrates and quite insects that contribute to the health of the sort of this river system. There are about 200. 00 tree species in america. Thats 17 of them. And about 400. 00 in a bird species. It is a National Treasure and the north west doesnt have a lot of these River Systems a lot of the systems in this province are heavily degraded. The crown jewel of this not true treasure lies just a few paddle strokes upstream. A sanctuary hidden at the heart of the reserve. This is america i were at the source of america river. And the water levels up from big underground what to kevins at that point of the day the water is clear is anything very low conductivity which means theres no salt is not pollutants in this in the system its really very very pure. The water is Crystal Clear but it might not stay that way. Recently the Mining Industry has become interested in the areas subsoil which is full of Precious Minerals regarded as a 10 mining payments for things like. Cup a silver or gold in the region so does pose a risk yeah this place is definitely at risk and its you know we would like to see those places as an absolute no guy for mining if you pollute this this area this this underground aquifer. You cant just get that back its not going to come back. So could the america river basin one day resemble the of a desolate landscapes left behind by the South AfricanMining Industry. Like these flat lands dyed red by chemicals. Or these mined tailings in the midst of south africas forestalling and. Some of them date back to 886 when gold was 1st discovered and understood motown culture comes back. From that point on the Mining Industry began to deposit its to breed all around the city. More and more waste piles of here. Often only a few dozen meters from residents homes. Some of the may look as innocent as sunday and see but they are mine tailings the slag heaps of years of extraction and digging for gold i dont go over there to scare. Away. The day it comes or is here a whole year its run as was the day i bowled in a. Because i was out to see ball a pussy ass would. Be pretty awkward 307 i dont even specialist. Sort of at the plutocrats he wants to drop his water from the course of those who decide to tear him to do. So. What does it mean for those living next to these dunes. Like yeah thats me. So does the wind come from the mine thirtys it flows this side of a rose this side or this side just like tiny dylan is a mother of 5 she spent all her life in the shadow of one of the largest mining dumps in the country its residue is everywhere. John the neighborhood has become one huge psalm. 23 to you a quote from the. Sun times yes your eyes become ok this is not if you go to detaining tim this choice is some make some chemical in it so im advising you today not to go to mine because its too big its unhealthy at the same time to go you must think it or. Leave it youre going d to. A few months ago tiny dylan mean he wanted to find out how many people in her neighborhood of over a 1000 residents were unwell so she knocked on almost every duel this house had as keith. This house here the model the owner of this house every chest full of this when you come here often here each and every man no women or child around here is coughing has appropriate of coughing as appropriate his skin some of them up only take from the man who. Says. He them i want to test in your question i will run off with a. Question that needs. Over one and a half 1000000 South Africans live in townships like this. At the foot of mine tailings mountains. Thats the south of it gets into off one week this past week the brink this that so that is why so many people here this is the silent killer this dust doesnt just make people vomit or cough several children in the neighborhood suffer from severe Neurological Disorders. Or who i believe you know for years you know if you. Look at that if. You returned this 6 years old. She suffers from a paralyzing brain disease are you doing well lately however her family saying the tondo was born perfectly healthy the problems arose soon after the roof of the house was under repair at the time ok and the dust from the mine peeps gotten this dust you pull your kid in the piece. Before you sleep you must face. That and everyone kids oh yeah a few weeks later the 1st signs of illness appeared in the years since the tundra has been unable to. Communicate with her. When she she was to be changed. Yeah and then she she kicks it is ok you know maybe when she wants you to go i say ricci she kisses him and she screams you know. They you know she has to go out say you want to. Poverty has always prevented the family from being able to prove a link between attenders illness and the mind dust but they are no doubt if there are other peers like under her own i was the same symptoms same Health Issues yet i do know in days theres a pinto to them its going to be the only problem is that they are ashamed of their kids all and here and i dont want anybody knowing of my day kids in this situation theres 2 of them open houses in the in the same street youre going to have them there many of them you know personally personally strangers one thing that has made you only find them here this is actually centered it in my angel tonight today taking them to the to dig a little bit so bad if you go alfalfa any distance from here believe you me you never find this key. To find out whether the just from the nearby mine tailings really is the cause of peace illnesses. Must climb snake park hill. It has been abandoned ever since the mine was closed. Access is supposedly forbidden theres nobody guarding the site which extends over 4 square kilometers while the motive for about 6 is being run from a soldiers each. Day then do need to turn the dishes. Was soumitra. Must take 500 grams of the sun. The dust thats blowing over the village below. On the way down he finds a green lake at the foot of the slope. Its used mostly to area gate adjacent farmland or residents also give it to their lifestyle sometimes their children even bay the net of this world will. Ok or if i can put in will do. For the. Paws of the news media have put it. Frankly linda is professor of environmental studies at Northwestern University in south africa getting to me. Linda is also an expert on mining the illusion the government the World Health Organization writes with his help has developed a scientific her took a test kit for different wood to pollutants yes so im at the bottom of the mine turnings theres some water all around i was wondering which parent those fish do you think i should analyze 1st in the water mining. Trucks translate to. Elevate. Ok. I. Thought it would seem recently gone by. So. Many dont but in point of missouri. It turns out that in the us youre going to get arsenic which is a metal. Cream you can. See. And. All the usual suspects if you put it like that. So i think. Just so you know it was. Says although. The maximum they were going to continue to pose for them. Its impossible to analyze everything there and then so must takes another sample to check for more pollutants later. But the tests have already thrown out some serious questions. After some convincing one of the countrys top 3 gold produces agrees to a meeting. With. Gold fields 8750 kilograms of gold was mined at the site last year. The team cant go underground into the mine itself and the company will only allow them to film surface operations we get all from the from the store. But at night you will see on the front end is numbers. Coming. Out including we are doing a plus minus 5500. 00 times. A day i mean we have reaching out on 300. 00 tons per hour depends on the order of viability and how many times on their. Door that you see on the still fall is what i mean at the plus minus 5 times but done thats always currently. Only 5 grams of gold for each ton of coal mind thats a remarkable ratio. And it means a huge amount of residue to be disposed of. The precious metal is separated from the rest of the and then heated in these killings. Nothing to make goes where we used to live i sit in the sun on sexual freedom i like to make those you know prices they know the order mega nice and silly god. I dont think so that c. P. R. So you add all of these together with these with the fall of. The last stages the cost at 800. 00 degrees celsius for 40 minutes. The end result told us. At 82 percent purity each weighs in at just over 16 kilograms and is worth around 538000. 00. Goldfields makes 5 of these gold balls a week. Producing 16200 tons of residue you equivalent to the weight of 2 of frances eiffel towers. The company has wasted human lives here on this he said constantly 24 hours a day by these pipelines connected to the factory. Within a few years this hail will become another Steep Mountain of debris reaching up to 70 meters high. Andrew passons and Stephen Joseph are its grand architects. Whats in there. What it is its. Well its its whats left over from there from the extraction process its the rock that. Held the gold. And whats left behind off the gold has been removed so its silica and other materials its the sand. And other metals but many silica is there any other metals for example there. Could be trace amounts but but very small concentrations. And some of the gold always there is your random sauce deep has very little youre on your minutes or so. Theres very little uranium. In the us in the stomach you. Will get really. Not offhand i think the numbers around about 40 to 50 grams a ton 40 to 50 annually south African Mining companies extract 10 times more uranium than gold the uranium is then abandoned leaving behind radioactive mined tailings so the kind of control you do the samples you are talking about is the daily basis the gold from both of them. But the radiation 50 would probably be. Ok. Over time the waste produced by south africas gold industry has formed increasingly large radioactive heaps dumped outside in the open at. According to official estimates the mine tailings surrounding johannesburg now contain an astounding 600000 tons of uranium the quantities are so high that in reality the mountains of waste should be classified by the state as Nuclear Installations they should be confined and secured and kept at least 500 meters away from any residential area but those rules are routinely ignored as here into the shaft a township with over 20000 residents. Of. Oil Bruno Sherry Ron is an engineer in Nuclear Physics and an expert from korea ratched a Research Association in radioactivity when i was i was government only. Going to think that they were. That commercial school shaken too much was. To feel they would be a little bit. Also paul not just on the well you know office all the moves you want to take to sort of you know make sure the group on television i mean to depict it. I know my point of view to see not just here young men get much it even to be able. To do is it true that you would need to do risk. Deep within your she thought to go to the young mom and me. In a large wanting to join an. I dont is wrong but you dont want to do this with this point 3000000 because you know. And you cannot still go on theres. Been a zone with a country thats real funny as for. Just one. And only because you want to force the daughter to try. And they said. To you to find us. Do think it was only one tree for. Whole duty to close on a letter that. Master has discovered that radioactivity levels here are close to those in the exclusion zone around the site of the 1986 Nuclear Disaster he follows the grazing animals to eric from gomez nearby farm. Era keeps around 40 goats and a few sheep none of which seem to live very long linen above all if they last week last week. One month one months of all yeah yeah and do you do you have a lot of baby though most because of your. Writings show then said as for success this is a. Eric wants to show us the most common symptom amongst his flock. They want to. Know as well and. Know what it must be. The next is the fungible one it is. A puzzle mine so. I want to learn. And i mess. So when you see these every day what do you think. Was the motion and. I would go and talk about to you but its just the bins. It seems as though erics goats have radiation sickness but evidence is needed. We are close to the mind savings farm that money will look really sick i mean according to you do you own or do you think we should just have some bowl of the animals. Just like you. Have to take 5 samples from 2 goats intended to be used for Meat Consumption including one who is blind. I come up with the results of the china factor or the instructor thanks for you but i. Must turn takes the samples to be tested at south africas council the scientific and industrial research. Here used the water from the tailings just across the state ngs it is used as a recursive water jesus Us Immigration and also for almost a drink we also had some more full samples train job was done with the store was contaminated as low made competitors and so what can you what can you look for years a
