In the barren landscape of Joburg's artisanal mining underworld, we explore the shafts and sewers where, slowly but surely, zama zamas are encroaching on the cityโs critical infrastructure. From makeshift bush kitchens to perilous underground tunnels excavated in search of gold, we reveal the harsh reality of their lives. These illegal miners are eking out a living underneath the City of Gold. But at what cost? As environmental decay and armed violence take their toll on Johannesburg, Carte Blanche heads underground and emerges with a disturbing answer.
