The paper further investigate the government’s, particularly the DMRE, proposed pushs to empower those the one intend to extract value from these deserted mines while curbing the scourge of violation in affected societies. The creation of employment time for the youth, specifically, will go far in the eradication of criminal mining. This mediation through effective regulation must be paired with upgraded implementation and application of the legislation.Even in locations place gold excavating halted in addition to 100 years ago, legacy mine shafts and litter dumps in the Witwatersrand touch provide social and material problems for societies. Conflict arises between the societies and authorities on account of the sluggish eradication of these gold mine shafts and waste dumps (or lack thereof), specifically the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE), which is the appropriate authority in the area of preservation of natural resources in mining.
