Gold Street is where South Africa's mining history goes to die
South Africa is a member of both the International Monetary Fund and the Bank for International Settlements, organizations that help execute the gold price suppression scheme of the major developed countries to exploit the developing world.

"These people can't find jobs, just like me," Selemela, 34, said under the winter sun, wearing a torn, dirty Chelsea soccer club shirt and jeans that hung loosely on his thin frame. "They try at the retailers, but there is nothing available there. They are employing fewer people because people are buying less. There's no money."
Additional cuts are to come across mines and towns in South Africa, once the world's biggest producer of gold. A volatile currency, uncertainty about regulations and demand, labor union tensions, harder-to-access ore, high operating costs, and falling prices mean about half of gold and platinum operations are loss-making.
