Illegal miners vow to continue mining in the Northern Cape

Illegal miners at Kleinzee in the Northern Cape say they will continue to mine in the area.

That's despite the deaths of 13 illegal miners in the area the past week.

The deaths were as a result of a mine tunnel collapse.

Senior reporter Ulrich Hendriks and video journalist Lereko Motseko filed this report.
