  JUST LOOK AT "BOY-BOY" PRESIDENT MAHAMA WITH DAVID CAMERON HAVING A HANDSHAKE INFRONT OF 10 DOWNING STREET, AND YOU'LL GET MY DRIFT.
  
  IT'S UNFATHOMABLE FOR A GHANAIAN OR ANY OTHER BLACK AFRICAN TO ENGAGE IN A DECENT BUSINESS IN CHINA OR INDIA, LET ALONE ILLEGAL MINING OF CHINA'S OR INDIA'S NATURAL RESOURCES RIGHT IN THOSE TWO COUNTRIES.
  
  THEY'LL CRUCIFY YOU IN A TWINKLE OF AN EYE, MAINLY FOR BEING BLACK AFRICAN.
  
  INDIANS AND CHINESE DETEST BLACK PEOPLE.
  
  INSTEAD OF FORMING A TASK FORCE, MAHAMA SHOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY ORDERED THE MILITARY POLICE AND ARMY TO VIOLENTLY ROUND UP THESE ILLEGAL MINERS, PUT THEM TO DEATH AND CONFISCATE THEIR PROPERTIES IN GHANA.
  
  THAT WOULD HAVE SERVED A LONG-TERM DETERRENT.

Somebody was paid off in Immigration department..Do they really think a China man wants to come to Ghana and see Capecoast????? Most probably where un-educated just like ghanians so did they get a student visa?

  Stop harrassing them and come up with structures that allows them to operate legally. Through these jobs would be created, govt will accrue funds from taxation - the multiplier effect will be created- Government should rather be creative and put in place agencies to register these small scale miners as well as monitor the impact of their operations on the environment. Use common sense

  This whole illegal mining problem has me very worried for Ghana's future they are making large tracts, of Ghana's land not fit for human habitation.
  
  If you see how people behave when they have no access to clean drinking water or can't grow food. You would be worried too this can't continue you can't eat or drink Gold, if I was hungry or thirsty.
  
  I would have a nice coconut over a gold nugget any day Ghanaians need to understand the real value of things. Gold and fiat money are not as important as good land, food, water and your health the price for these is extremely high.
  
  Did you know during the Libya attack by the west the one of the first things they went after was the clean drinking. After changing the Libyan central bank currency.
