Two children have drowned years apart in separate dams belonging to a Harmony Gold mine in Gauteng, South Africa. Despite these fatalities, a recent media investigation found that neither of the dams has been fenced off.
Local residents have raised serious safety concerns, stating that the lack of adequate security measures continues to put the lives of children in the surrounding communities at direct risk.
