First modification:
In Ermelo you can no longer see the marches of the miners nor do the machines resonate, nor do the giant vehicles used in the extraction of coal pass by. In what is considered the “black lung” of South Africa, the mines of this coveted element were abandoned, leaving behind wounds in the environment and deep unemployment in the population.
In the Zulu language, “Zama Zama” means “one who tries and tries again”.
In Ermelo, in the heart of South Africa’s ‘black lung’, the coal fields have been abandoned by the big mining companies, which have moved on to bigger fields in the east of the country, leaving behind abandoned galleries and unemployed men.
