Mines came; our livestock became weaker every day, now we watch them die

Description

Morapaneng village is between two shafts less than 1km away from one another, Hackney shaft and Twickenham shaft.Mr Thobejane lost 7 cattles among that 7, 2 were calves and in 2016 his cows miscarried alot.he believe that the problem is the water they drink from Motse that is being contaminated by the water coming from the mine stream, they don’t have a choice as Motse is the only river they have. Fortunately their goats don’t go to the river that’s why they survive because Motse is far they buy water for the goats and they always come home to drink but for their cattles they don’t have a choice because the river is next to the grazing fields
