Ask how these local firms get money to fund these operations,most funds are coming outside Ghana banks
U cant even pay these workers when these mines collapse
U did not suffer to get your appointment so u dont consider how these comments from you affects these workforce .
Go to tarkwa and askem how this comments is affecting their wellbeing
Go to US and Canada ,you will find out big mines which are owned by non natives .

Am a native of Tarkwa..Tarkwa is my original hometown..nobody can renew any license..enough is enough..goldfields makes most of their gold in Tarkwa and use it to develop South Africa instead of using the money from the gold in Tarkwa to develop Tarkwa and its environs..Tarkwa is still underdeveloped after many years of mining activities meanwhile goldfields takes all the profits and use it to develop South Africa and those lazy fools in South Africa look at how they are treating our Ghanaian bros and sisters..it’s about time Ghana takes back our resources and manage it well so our people can benefit..goldfields use Ghanaian gold to fund those lazy fools in South Africa that are now harassing our Brothers to go home..let’s also take our resources and uses it to develop Ghana so our people will stay and work in Ghana..this is God’s plan..let’s stop corruption, let’s use our resources to develop our country..Ghanaians are treated terrible in many countries across the world because our politicians have failed the country..

Who told you that Goldfields money is or was used to develop South Africa.Have you forgotten that the money they invested in the Tarkwa mine must be accounted to their shareholders in the form of dividends.And some of the shareholders are people from all walks of life including Ghanaians and not not necessarily only south Africans.The fact that E and P has taken over Darmang mines does not mean the whole place will be developed by them because that is is not its responsibility but rather the government. E and P has it's social and corporate responsibilities but it's the government who has to developed the area with the taxes and royalities.Anyway what is the situation on the ground in the communities where Adamous mines which is Ghanaian owned operates. Are the communities developed or we are waiting for...

@Diesel Massa stop the rubbish..adamus is a foreign owned mining company..u don’t know shit about mines.who lied to you that adamus is a Ghanaian owned?..adamus is a foreign owned mining company that’ has just appointed a Ghanaian to be leading the company..u don’t know shit, go and check the investment of goldfields in South Africa and compare it to their investment in Ghana..vast majority of goldfields investment is in South Africa whiles there Is no trace of investment of them in Ghana or Tarkwa..do u even know that before goldfields will do any projects in Tarkwa for example the mini stadium that was built in Tarkwa, the then mp Mireku duker has to go to their headquarters in Johannesburg to lobby for the investment to be approved..Massa shut the hell up..u don’t know anything about mining..I was born in a mining community and I have done most of the jobs in my life..u don’t know anything about mining..aside the royalties and the taxes, mining companies have the obligation to develop the communities in which they operate..have u been to Johannesburg before, the same goldfields have a lot of infrastructure development even tough they pay taxes aswel..rubbish probably u are the pro for goldfields but just let them know that their license will not be renewed okay..nonesense

THE TARKWA GOLD FIELD WILL TELL GHAA WHO MAHAMA REALLY IS.

IS HE A TALKING SHOP OR A TRUE GHANAIAN WHO TRULLY LOVES GHANA AND PUTS GHANAIANS INTEREST FIRST.
IF MAHAMA EXTEDS THAT LEASE, THEN WE CAN SAFELY SAY FROM THE ROOF TOPS THAT JOHN MAHAMA IS AN INCORIGIBLE HYPOCRATE, A CHAMELOEN WHO CAN NEVER CHANGE HIS SPOTS. HE CAN GO TO HELL WHERE HE BELONGS.

BUT IF HE STANDS FIRM, AND GIVE THE TARKWA FIELDS BACK TO GHANAIANS THEN WE CAN SAFELY SAY, JOHN MAHAMA BLAZE THE TRAIL FOR GHANAIAN OWNERSHIP OF OUR GOLD MINES SO MAY GOD/ALLAH BLESS HIM. AMEN

No one is disputing your suggestion - one must research into why the DEFUNCT STATE GOLD MINING CORPORATION SAW IT'S COLLAPSE and was sold for only Two millions dollar then to the South Africans.

John Mahama is using his brother, a member of the Mahama clan to steal from poor Ghanaians so that he can retire as an Arabian King.

Are you seeing what we are seeing?

Create jobs to prevent ridicule outside
SA is wrong with the approach but this must give us more effort to solve our issues . Ghana deserves better

I absolutely agree.
The government should not even try such or we will demonstrate against the NDC.
Ghanians should stop using anything from South Africa. They should close all south Africa businesses in Ghana now.

It's the obvious. South Africa has shown to be unrelatable and we can't afford to do business with them.
