South Africa’s illegal chrome trade
The trail of South Africa’s illegal chrome trade leads deep into Limpopo’s mineral-rich Sekhukhune District, as well as back to Bapong in the North West where vast open pits, abandoned machinery, and heavily loaded trucks point to an operation far bigger than desperate locals digging for survival. As police seize equipment allegedly linked to illegal mining, investigators reveal how trucks and machinery are often rented out through murky arrangements that make accountability difficult to trace. #eNCA
