he just believes of the hindus lead them. you'd never see boys mercenary soldiers serving under the british ground. 3000000000 began on the 10th of may 1857 in the garrison town of may river, north of india, in the form of a mutiny. the rebels quickly took over daily. the heroic resistance of the indian people lasted for one and a half years. however, the forces were not equal to the colonial authorities dealt with the rebels cruelly thine slaves. the boys were tied to the mouth of the cannon and were shot right through their bodies for the amusement of the public. these type of execution was called the devil's with the obliteration of the mutiny resulted in the death of 800000 inhabitants of india. however, the british empire never broke the free spirit of the indians and their will or resistance both with

some of the largest mining companies in africa, b, a. c, bulletin, anglo american extra, and barrick. these american australian and european own company, so they pockets to the tune of an estimated $355000000000.00 us dollars here. they exploit africa and african philosophy and mineral resources. hello and welcome to the african. now show, i'm paul is clear. and in this week's episode, we explode the effects of western companies who have made greed to make a big back in africa, leave behind more than just mining company for decades. farming company have dug up oil gas, gold, patient manuel with and various other resources from africa that have left them with big profit, with little benefit to the local. what's more,

they've left behind, environmental health and social problems that crippled generations to come. i'm in a band and mine done in the city of johannesburg, which is home to thousands of people. they live under a cloud of radio active dust, the result of an australian company, mental became long operations die. although the mine is now closed for years, environmental had sounded the alarm resident know too well, these health hazards. they face mothers day close on this place. he gauge which doesn't and save it for us. they are mostly t b also. then they told me that that does this usage her last, then she pasco, and i have 4 children, and i take them to the cleaning every time for the usual immunizations. but that sort of do not come off. i have to take them to the medication for to the the

chemist and to the doctor to see what is wrong with them. and no results are there to tell me what is wrong with my children that people have been here since 1995 to do something for my settlement is as old as democracy, you know a country and is this all? this is a human rights commission. it is unfortunate that i've been the 5 years of democracy in our country. the people are in this opinion condition if they, if they may. if then get us to ask because of we in hailey then they tell us that it is going going ahead as if when i q is burning, is that from the stomach in places to it's nice and then sometimes the full gets very blay and sometimes like something pinching inside the throat.

major when have the symptoms they, they, they usually have they get though i thought about their mouth like pimples, white pimples under them and they are look and then they may, their skin get fresh. it sometimes becomes like, ah, the skin color changes. am a traditional doctor. i assume maybe sometimes it is because of their chicken sandwich. clean. oh, maybe the aftermarket snugly. then i give them the medicine, clean the kick, knees. i give them medicine to drink in their system. but i realize that it doesn't stop it the pay stubs for that time, but they can choose to come again. we just in the hailey that say every now and

then every now and then is that the so i that that thing is coming like total to close our, our land. sometimes we can place quickly. the standard of living is very poor and we are living on top of mining talent down. we try to engage. we have different, you know, the nice part department as far as the is concerned and there was no lock. there was no, i was in our proposals that we made in regard to a relocation. i'm not sure the color mindy turns enough because the problem is, as is too busy due to our house is what i don't know was going to happen for those houses. when requote rousing, they say they don't know us us, we don't stay here even we stay here. the people are coming from are not up places . they come in, which is a year and get houses there. they say, we'll call,

we'll go and wait for them. they will call us still waiting until now and i move, yeah, just find some few people. you just verify a few people there from there it is not good for people to see ya, b, c. you rename it something like you re, me, i'm and nuclear is you've been yeah. i think that area, it's dangerous, but i didn't get the idea where i can call because the people, when you come in for this you there and in the other people in dallas, he can help us. so we, we do for the people to try to help us to get to shalicia how we can do for this place. we try to engage with different and you always like m. p always donation for sustainable environment. we engage with northwest 50 feet with regard to this problem that we have to come to kentucky edition studies and they are whereby they gave us

a recommendation that according to the levels of flood buick and the volume, will you run your mia? there is no one is allowed to live in this place. rose yes, i believe. i don't know when i hit my head, i don't know. the stories echoed across africa. so how exactly do the mining companies get away with it? my reach me for a ring from the foundation for safe environment. shades hurtful shots, africa entering f because isa hunger for economic development. and obviously there are also and mining companies or investors, or shared august that we're exploring this for economic development. in south africa, we have a convent legislation. however we had it fictionally, poor enforcement of non compliance with our gauges nation in the east of africa sectors, namibia, oregon, and motor down the org. in

d r. c. they might not be such a nice today to selection and of course also the poor inforcement. so that result is also in the exploitation by some of the mining companies. because that with the resulting in the extent guy sation of negative impact. when i refer to that externalize action of negative impacts, what often would happen is that the uranium or at the main source would be extracted at back being off of mine, closure or decommissioning also mine when mine is putting caving maintenance, often dos impacts, which with now's for in that case, if you're going to logical ages ne, biological ages, those impacts will be externalized to the communities, to future generations, to amused environment and offered to also financially beleaguered municipalities in

south africa. they are approximately 300 i t i to act monterey city 80 s ways be off 400000 person living which are afflicted by the you guy in the. and we would anticipate that they would be a high risk for the 3 students because often as high i, b, m, i think teachers could on the tooth mail nutrition, substance abuse, so that all would have to be communities to be vulnerable. the challenge here is that the national nuclear that interprets its mandate really matters in only a few like mine sat. it does not take your life, i do active mind the race if you do bosses. and jackie, the challenge, as i explained, we have 380. i do active mind that a city is currently in

a lot district area that is now in hacking south africa. if this issue that we must 50 is that they should be sufficient. the abilene station site for mining companies, not only to reach the current in thanks, but also 2 or 3 things like to order to do that. thanks. including the something a treatment of extraneous or produced. it was this at the moment. if you didn't say by government at home, some of the mining companies are more responsible mining companies to increase closure. i do all that i do active or you know, if that is why they are really feel involved, maintain north africa in south africa. we has, of course, of the value of it automates a lot of the bottom line loss also has put enforcement. i think africa is not the lot. i think some of the unscrupulous mommy companies explore full alkies or

experienced we find in communities we. we work that the, the animosity growing and anger against some of the mining companies, especially since money companies are moved on, leaving gaping hosting. pick out the usa rivers. and i'm in each disruptive community. it takes 100 yes. for soil to rebuild itself by just a half a centimeter. add to that the fact that the world is currently using soil at a rate of 15 to a 100 times quicker than it can rebuild itself. most of the minds in africa after they've been abandoned and codes dom become waste. just like this one behind me. they say that a nation that can rebuild its coil can rebuild itself, but the prospects for african countries remain bleach. peter major is a different mining engineer,

an analyst who is highly regarded in the mining and financial services industry. i sat down with him to get an understanding of how active as a continent has been affected by these companies. people thank you very much for joining us. here on african now, what are the negative effects of foreign mines for marketing can be good or bad? we know we need money. mining is a capital intensive business, and the more money you spend, the better it should be for the country because you're building infrastructure. you're building treatment plans, value ads, or giving people jobs. so we should have a preference for companies with lots of money that are going to do lots of the nasty. the big mining company are actually the best at that because they does many of them for over a 100100 years. what we're seeing, you know, in a lot of africa because it's risky because it's unstable. we're not getting very

many big winey companies. whereas 50 years ago we got a lot more. so we're getting lots of little mining companies, supposedly. mining companies were getting a lot of nickel dime more on pause shop. lots of skeletons was mafioso against earth bugs. and those are not the good investors. we need, those are not the mining companies we need, they degrade the place, they corrupt officials, they corrupt local people, the leave a mass. and we just have to look at what's happened in santa gall and. 5 gonna with, with thousands of thousands of literally illegal chinese winders, come in there. and the amount of mercury that they're using mercury was bad. i think, way over a 100 years ago. and most of the west, there should be no mercury coming into africa. and yet that's how the recovering all their goal. and mercury is so deadly, so poisonous and last

a long time and it's in the water supply. 5 from the ground, we haven't even mentioned about how gold mining just devastates the countryside ruins the farmland. so yeah, we got to control all mining companies that come in. they have to abide by standards. they have to be transparent. they have to be approved by proper government agencies. what about the burden of disease in the mining communities? i've got some pretty good research your thought on is thanks, my team has burka moses! we almost thought we added or rather hated. it's spread like wildfire in these communities in the illegal mining camps. women are really abused in multiple ways sexually violently. they're made to work. their conditions are exposed. you are around us and yes,

diseases. a burke. hello sir. hey, i want to think john, this theory. yeah. you know what comes from sewage? it's not just people are exposed to hazardous waste. there are both the hazardous bacteria. they're exposed to social disease. yeah, it runs rampant. you know, you have squatter camps, there's. 1 no ventilation, there's not enough. 2 draining there's not enough. 1 for life compared to a proper suburb, it has all the amenities, and that's what's happening around band and mining camps. communities crop up around there because they use the infrastructure and they populate uncontrollably quite often. and so all the social diseases are. 2 around but there

are growing rapidly and it's hard to control what land rehabilitation have you seen going on in africa? the majority of the mine i've seen going on and there is no rehabilitation. and how long does it talk to the last? well, just of mercury, you know, so i just companies are pretty good allies in cyanide, almost within days. when they put that in a big pile down. we are neutralizing the fire as it goes in there, but illegal whining and some standard one. you got neutralizing the cyanide, it can be very toxic. employees know some months, maybe even a year or 2 mercury though. it's almost impossible to neutralize. you just shouldn't be dealing with it at all. that will last for decades. it's widespread. yeah, the rehabilitation. it's not being done, especially by the smaller, below the radar, co called miners. i want to call mining companies their miners,

their pirates, the mafia, myers. i know the mining companies in south africa once they close down, has a fund for land rehabilitation. the same happened for communities and i think there should be president because if we had a person that was thinking. 5 like you, this would be one of the hydro best investment destinations on the planet. instead of being upset if you're actually right that the government sets the standards and government shows the standards and those that paid a lot to sort of this. 5 going here, they get 1.7 trillion every year to spend it as a please. and they had that for 27 years. so without a doubt, the guy with most of the money, the guy with most the power he or most responsibility, they come hand in hand. and yes, when government lead companies come in,

they have to monitor those companies. they have to evaluate those companies and stream them govern isn't just. 2 about running for reelection every 5 years and giving out all the. 6 contracts and attenders to your friends government us about doing much more as you pointed out, how can i help the help community and it should be the goal between them to go share between the mining company and the communities and what. 8 why didn't company pays taxes and lease payment, but the government has a responsibility if either the appropriate part of that money goes in the community . it doesn't go to their friends in high office who have contracts outside that town outside that governments have huge responsibility and they're not stepping up to let's move now to me, jazz, where a french mining company started mining the countries you re new reserve in the 1917

. although the mind close to years ago, 20000000 tons of radioactive weight remains in the country. many 800000 people live in the area and they have no choice that you drink and farm contaminated water and land. we asked our correspondent to investigate the story back beneath complicated his camera and to me from his materials. he spoke to us on condition of anonymity. sir, my local missouri gonna tell you who don't cur, compared to the current situation. there are several mining companies that will soon set up for the exportation of uranium in the i got this region. yoga is region everywhere. there is uranium and with now the rise and the price of uranium. there is a risk of having factories almost everywhere manella. on the other hand, the state is not careful about the percentage. it requires unit,

the global atomic company, which has created a subsidiary called some eda, which involves operating a mind, but its level at the state has 20 percent of capital in the company. has an 80 percent. john, it is against nature because society has neither the soil nor the countrymen, nor the minerals. it is nothing. and on the other hand, the state of niger already had a potential them puts on, for instance, the people who have been trained at the common industry for 40 to 45 years after the common are being close to these people could be recovered from the state to raise its capital and little them with our government did not do it. it was badly negotiated with the state in all that have been 10 to 20 percent of all work done with this company. we don't love to read that a need to read because did we go now to the world's most town?

according to police and experts come way which is 100 kilometers to the north of exam, be a capital soccer. was one posed to a quarter of a 1000000 people live in silver. mine is the oldest in the country and dates back to the beginning of the previous century. while already 1936 doctors were warning up high rates of lead poisoning. the mind remained open for another 50 years, only closing down in 1989. international lawyers have current and filed a lawsuit against anglo american, on behalf of the children of cub way, whose brains and other organs have been poisoned. we spoke with a former minor, this lucy, dick, any amount of dest go, and the good as the day melted. and that eyes you find that it contains lead and the lady, the bad to our budget issues,

and endured easy applicable to young ones. the depth, it's their thinking capacity to tell the truth is people out of place in the thinking they didn't want to inform any body the out to come of waking, delayed poison. i see places indeed people where day sometimes of find that somebody made room to be sick as if easy, suffering from it. and his behavior both he stole my p, bowden and becoming sick quasi they do i see inside and it wasn't in this joints. he the nick, the joints here, the stomach and oh, the movie i bought pats,

it was intact. they are wendy. somebody goes to was do they operate? you find the story, the lady here in these board, and the board to what the lady was acting to the body tissues as it is out. many people died, but we're not dordy. why do i? because this boy is enjoying the disposal. he's my grandson for this problem of getting affected with started in 2018. that is, when you was there, i was through with this problem. from that time on i used to taken to clinic for treatment, which took about 2 to 3 years. then abruptly, her treatment, it stopped from that time to did the if it's that of seen until the boy in she somewhere along

short tempered andy, sometimes the answers roughly. so these are the things that i've noticed from him. i'm reminding environmental remediation project. there are been projects back to help with the effects of lives in conway. so so far they are going to a point $5000000.00 in their remediation projects. the 1st part of it was doing the car. now basically the conduit where material was moving or has been warning from the on my to, to exit to wireless using as a default. as much more a can be done. but at least so far so good. we can to genius. we since 100 children

delayed as a 6 month period replaced since she waves from the country brought into sharp focus the dangers of mimic testing. a chemist london police gave it has more than for a states in niger risk. nope. is which in minerals like gold, we've been a just engaged in mining to leave it most in a just to know we have personal protective equipment while working with the board or other mine and sold the lead up 6 to be applauded. we just take home, some people, if you brush walk into the home sick, struck the gold. these drugs content will eat, i want the food was structured. the leave will be released and spread throughout the house to help the driver go or expose them to high levels of lead stuff is a 1010 fills. an outbreak of lead poisoning and at least 7 villages in the state. within 6 months, more than 400 children, died in these crisis. the sent shock waves throughout the country and broke into

sharp focus, the dangers of mineral processing. and then last impoverished, every area, duplication of desist the fuel to both communities where hundreds of people assume affected by lead poisoning. unset levels of lead without inside, most of the hopes was from the community will also had high levels of lead to who's a 5 to places had been generous levels of lead in c, a blot. she can now contacted angela merritt and i think mining companies for clinic, but they avoided us some heartbreaking stories and lingering questions, the most mindful of which is, how do companies continue to get away without owning up to their responsibilities? well, that brings us to the end of this week, so we hope we help shed a little light on a very real problem that is facing many communities across africa. next week, we'll be exploring the fascinating world of p and theme. private ability companies

will take you behind the scenes and off exactly what is happening in africa until then from me and the team here in africa's city of gold. good bye in. i'm rick sanchez. and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. you do not watch my new show. certainly why watch something, but so different. my little opinions that you won't get anywhere else work of it please. or do you have the state department, the c i a weapon, bakers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations. choose your fax for you,
