Zama Zama exposes the hidden workings of South Africa’s illicit gold trade through interviews with miners, syndicate insiders, intelligence agents, and law enforcement agents. It explores a violent underworld of gang wars, corruption, and brutal enforcement, detailing how gold is smuggled, laundered, and reintroduced into the global market via private refineries, fake permits, and VAT scams. The book also traces the illicit gold trade’s international reach, showing the links between underground mining and organised crime, terrorism financing, and global corruption networks.
