Ricky Bock and his fellow delvers are in favour of the DA’s idea to reopen the mines and help them earn a legitimate living and he’s planning to vote for that promise come 8 May.

It’s an audacious goal considering the ANC won 64% of the vote in the province in the 2014 elections but the DA is hoping that voters will give them a shot to fix the problems that plague the region. “We got good money. Later we went to Sanddrif; there we got a 6.9 stone of which we got R300,000 between the five of us and divided it.”
