Strip searches of women miners at Kopanong Gold Mine condemned

# The Moral Regeneration Movement has condemned the alleged strip searches of women miners at Kopanong Gold Mine near Klerksdorp. The organisation has labelled them as dehumanising and racist. MRM’s North West Convenor, Pastor Lesiba Kgwele, urged authorities to investigate and hold those responsible accountable. He criticised outdated security practices and called for modern, respectful search methods. The National Union of Mineworkers is pursuing legal action against the mine over these allegations.
