BUT there have been previous problems in the gold mines which continue....ie
at ASX/JSX listed Gold one GDO ...see ASX ANNs re court cases.

Gold isnt looking so good either?
Unrest was occuring for some time...and not just for platinum miners,imo.

Not a good time to raise funds for a new mine, but perhaps a very good time to create work in a country needing to support a struggling population .
Everything seems counter productive in SA ATM.
