The issue of hundreds of illegal immigrants from Lesotho engaging in illegal mining activities in South Africa has become a pressing concern. These activities not only flout the law but also contribute to environmental degradation and economic instability. President Ramaphosa’s stance on the issue has surprised many as he seems hesitant to end this destructive trend.
 Illegal mining activities, often carried out under dangerous conditions, not only exploit both workers and resources, but also pose a significant threat to the host country’s economy and security. . . The lack of regulation and oversight has led to widespread environmental damage and loss of revenue. While some argue that these immigrants are motivated by economic hardship, it is important to balance humanitarian concerns with the application of the rule of law.
 Addressing this issue requires a holistic approach that takes into account the socioeconomic factors that drive these activities. It is important that Lesotho and South Africa work together on solutions that provide alternative livelihoods for immigrants while maintaining environmental and economic integrity.Â
