You are probably right. Seems that I have heard that parts of Southern Africa, and in Western African continent, or Congo they still enslave men and boys to work in streams to pan for diamonds. There was a recent movie with Sean Penn in it about the poliltical continuing problem. They steal boys and men from their villages under pressure of gun barrels to work for their corrupt cartels who likely pay off the local governments. Many have such difficult lives.

notcomatose - I take it the song was written 15 or more years ago in which case of course the situation was indeed very different though I doubt the average miner is a lot better off now.

Jesoby, You must believe that there is an Easter Bunny. "Can't blame the foreign mining companies"with guns, whips and the controlling white Dutch folk who believe they own the country and enslave the blacks. They would shoot and kill parents and their children for demonstrating for education for their kids. Knowledge is power. Sure they would have done the right thing if you only asked them nicely. Ummm. You might be naive.

This fantastic performance was from the concert A.A.A.Artist Against Apartheid may be 1988-89.There was also the perfomance of BIKO by Peter Gabriel unforgettable. Really love this song. It touch me deep inside dont't know why.

you can't just blame foreign mining companies; if these countries were run properly the companies would would pay their taxes and the money would indeed go into infrastructure instead of padding the overseas bank accounts and property portfolios of the crooks in power.
