Sinkholes, scarred land and scapegoats: the scourge of illegal gold mining in Johannesburg

The Guardian, in several editions, reported on illegal gold mining in Johannesburg under the headline "Sinkholes, scarred land and scapegoats." According to the excerpts, there is no end in sight for the drivers of illegal mining, and police action appears ineffective. The reporting draws on Cora Bailey, who has encountered illegal miners since 1991 while treating injured animals in townships around Roodepoort, west of Johannesburg. The excerpts say the rising price of gold has been a factor, but they are cut off before giving further detail. The story is marked as developing, and the available excerpts do not include other outlets' coverage or any official response. Summary from 4 sources
