Some still have faith that mining will save Kimberley

Rufaro Mokunupa, 63, a former De Beers employee who has lived in Galeshewe all his life, is furious that one of South Africa's oldest townships remains largely poor despite years of diamond mining nearby."It pains me to see our youth unemployed. It pains me to see former mineworkers who worked in the mines until they were 60 years old, but are still poorer than before and some of them sick," says Mokunupa, who worked as an assistant telephone technician at De Beers.
