Rich mining legacy is poisonous future in parts of South Africa
풍부한 채광 유산은 남아프리카 일부 지역의 불쾌한 미래


South Africa's Gauteng Province profited from the spoils of more than a century of gold mining. But now its residents are paying the price - with their health.
번역: 남아공의 Gauteng 지역는 1세기가 넘도록 금 채굴 사업으로부터 이익을 얻었습니다. 그러나 이제는 주민들이 건강을 위해 가격을 지불하고 있습니다.

Around two thousand people live here surrounded by contaminated mine dumps - among them Janette, herself diagnosed with TB - the disease that killed her mother.
번역: 약 2,000명의 사람들이 오염된 광산 덤프에 둘러싸여 살고 있습니다. 그들 중 한 명인 Janette은 자신의 어머니를 죽인 질병입니다.

Janette Matshwisa, Tudor Shaft Resident, saying: "My mother is dead because of this place. She died in 2007. She was diagnosed with TB also. Then they told me that the dust is inside her lungs then she passed away."
번역: Tudor Shaft 거주자인 Janette Matshwisa는 "어머니는 이 장소 때문에 2007년에 죽었습니다. 결핵으로 진단 받았고 폐가 먼지가 폐에 있다고 말했습니다."

Researchers say Tudor Shaft, on the outskirts of Krugersdorp is exposed to acid mine drainage, contaminated dust and radiation. 
번역: 연구자들은 Krugersdorp의 외곽에 있는 Tudor Shaft가 산성 광산 배수에 노출되어 오염된 먼지와 방사선에 노출되어 있다고 말한다.

Mariette Liefferink, Federation for a sustainable environment, saying: "This Community has been exposed for decades, more than a decade to the dust fallout from the tailing storage facilities, the physical risks from open cast mining and blasting, as well as the staying on contaminated land. Some also grew their vegetables on contaminated soil. There is Radon exposure. There is both inhalation and ingestion of radioactive dust." Government efforts to clean up the area has been criticized as too little and too slow. National Nuclear Regulator / Orion Phillips, saying: "I do realize that there has… some time has elapsed. However, in our planning for this year, we've prioritized the cleanup operations to oversee the cleanup operations for the next two to three years." Mining companies are resisting a plan to charge them for cleaning up contaminated water sources. They say the cost would put an already ailing industry under further financial strain.
