Gem Slaves: Tanzanite's child labour - Part - 1

Apathy and lack of parental control.

Since when did the extent of the Constitution's "jurisdiction," end at the doors of walmart? It seems like a good constitutional lawyer needs to start fighting the sale of slave made products in American stores by invoking the 13th amendment.

This is the cost of capitalism my friends.

I'm Tanzanian some of these translations are a bit wrong. But it's no problem it still gives the main point of the story.

The problem with Africa is the same as other countries around the world, they are the victims of Capitalist societies, the big fish always eat the small.......
If the world money is fairly distributed, then, everybody will be equal, but some, doestn want to lose the stauts, one day, the world will be one, one planet under God, so im not worry, people are changing their way of thinking, thats my hope. God bless all the countries around the world.

Sad to say that Africa will ALWAYS be a basket case. Africans, as a rule (because of tribal/ethnic duty, corruption and nepotism) will never be able to rule themselves and prosper as Europe and North Americans have. Spending money on relief in Africa is a waste of time and money. The only way to help Africans is where they live. Finding ways to cheap, fresh water, better growing techniques, etc.

omg

Clearly the Government doesnt care about its people, its not the gem lovers out there that should be blamed. The Tanzania government should ban kids from working, control the mine 100%, hire local ADULT works, give them a proper mine with correct venilation, tools, protection, and sell the rocks and put the money back into the economy. But for now thats a dream, maybe one day.

Poleni sana watoto mnaotumikishwa huko mererani.

Najua ni moja ya kundi la watoto wengi walio katika ajira mbaya ambazo zinazo wasababishia kushindwa kuendelea na elimu.

Time will tell..
