I flew my drone today to get a closer look at what is going on across the valley from my current home.
And all the workers ran away as fast as they could when they saw it approaching.
Probably because it looks like this!
Decorated in such a way to amuse my 2 year old son :)
You can just about make out one of the workers running away with his wheelbarrow in this shot.
They know that what they are doing is illegal but to be fair, there are not too many other options for workers like them.
So none of this is really their fault at all.
They are just trying to support their families.
there are others to blame for what is going on here, and this is something I will be examining in further posts.
Here are some other shots from my flight just now...
In this shot you can see the proximity of my home to the mine. Not too far away!
It appears that they are preparing the way for a new mine, having already hacked away at so many chucks of land. Which will soon bring with it the sound of stone cutting from dusk till dawn.
THE SOLUTIONS ARE COMING!
Thanks for reading and please resteem to show your support.
What are they mining?
