“’I know I put my life at risk, using explosives with no safety equipment. I put my family in danger by exposing them to mercury. I put the land at risk because the sulphates, mercury and arsenic I leave behind destroy our crops and pollute the water,’ Chacha says. ‘But I don’t do this because I want to; I have no choice. I have to make a living and support my family.’ “
