Dear Minister Ntshaveni,

I hope this letter finds you well.

I am writing to express my concerns about the recent actions taken against illegal miners. While I understand the need to address this serious issue, I believe it's important to approach it with both firmness and compassion.

I note that the commission report implicated a number of individuals, including government officials. Given this, I urge a balanced approach that ensures due process for all involved. It's crucial to strike a balance between enforcing the law and offering support to those who may need assistance in transitioning away from illegal mining activities.

I believe that a fair and just response to this complex issue will not only uphold the rule of law but also demonstrate the government's commitment to a just and equitable society.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Ephraim
