Johannesburg is considered the most uranium-contaminated city in the world. Waste dumps from around 600 abandoned mines sit next to residential communities, blowing polluted dust into homes and contaminating the soil and water supplies. To get a sense of the sheer extent of the problem, Martin Boudot and his team of researchers investigate. Equipped with a Geiger counter, they uncover some dangerous realities.

dirty wealth blood money, this is horrible something should be done. the government won't help we need to stand up.
Worst part its not south African companies
This is excellent work and reporting,
It's evil what these companies are doing! Why are they allowed to do this?
5 grams for 1 ton of toxic waste? I don't think it's worth it
Any Ghanaian here?
Townships are formalised areas which includes former white suburbs and black townships. shanty towns are informal settlements that do not have bulk and social infrastructure. These informal settlements can be found in municipal land, abandoned farms and even in abandon buildings in the CBD.
And the rich get richer
We must take action on this issue! Please, everyone, let's share this across social media to raise awareness. Those affected deserve justice, and those responsible must be held accountable for their negligence!☣ I was deeply moved by Ntando's story, and I couldn't hold back my tears.😭 In the documentary, the only people who showed genuine remorse were the environmental geologist and the director of the NIOH. Meanwhile, hearing the Bulgari employees brush it off with such indifference was heartbreaking. Let's stand together for justice. 🌍
Kudos to Martin Boudot and his team for their incredible work in uncovering the truth.👏🏆
So they needed a YT journalist AND SCIENTIST from abroad to start noticing…EUH WTF I CANT FOLLOW WITH THIS. BUT AT LEAST NOW WE KNOW THAT JUST FOR THE ADORATION OF GOLD
EVIL WORKS BUT IS THAT SOMETHING NEW TAKING PLACE. NO. IT SHALL END IT SHALL END PERIOD.
I can't lie, this touched my heart as a fellow south African 💔
It’s wrong in so many ways! The real is not helping the environment but robbing africa’’s its riches and gold!

We thought 💭💭 it was the protestant reformation.
The father said go home with your family.
We are not allowed to look at colored books 📚📚.

So they live in poverty, but won't try do anything themselves to uplift themselves. Instead, they will keep on breeding and breeding so that their kids will also land up living in slums and ultimately getting even poorer. Yeah, that's perfect logic there….
imagine if all the families without homes or food , suffering after the 2nd world war just sat around, waiting for things to happen, and breeding themselves into poverty..
They been after the mother land
😔😔😔😔😔🌎🌎🌎🌎
Why don't the french Rather fix the mess in their own country

The gold mines are Jewish owned.
Metals are ancient mining 'alien' , dictators of time, magnetic field, is removed from land gold reflection of sun's rays, other metals blends. Blood ore in worship,'gods' eat you.

Misread of color code moisture content near samples collected,keep ,away from air moisture, misreading code. Close lid a few kept out.
Surveys eye on technology observation over theory's guess needs knowledge of specific issues, training cycle. Soils tester's. Shacks.
Careful fly by nite plastic companies here. ,not too Canadian standards. Very test equipment.
No wifi hotspots magnetic field of view, vast discharged from chargers then in air older cable tv less frequency of signal. , no cell phone, transmitter disponder signal multiple layers of signal. Make life crazy in electrical conductivity fields. Fryed people near tower's.
Ion in bird's navigation held in brains of bird's. Migrations ancient surveys marks.
Easy too fool man by anything from space, noone worships these 'gods' if they were here no human control but their's, correct? Why? Jesus Christ is. Near, somewhere on planet.
Ion in blood memory, magnetic field pull iron out of blood, discontinue use of devices.
Work's for me, tell it so, as child like too alien thing always near chase away so times it leaves comes back chat with me.
A true reflection of the local government…..
i hope the Whyte man goes to hell for all he has done to Africa & what he continues to do in Africa.
Its common sense that any kinds of minerals in the ground will be toxic in and around the spots you dig up !!! 😢
ANC Goverment don't care for the well being or safety of South African citizens
