Stonebwoy: Musician Stunned After Seeing How Galamsey Has Turned Clean River Brown In Video

• Ghanaian artiste Stonebwoy toured some parts of the Western Region of Ghanan during a project by his Livingstone Foundation
• The Livingstone Foundation constructed four boreholes to help illegal mining communities with safe drinking water
• The musician was taken to one of the rivers to see the damage caused by illegal mines dumping mining waste into water bodies

Ghanaian musician Stonebwoy and his team from Livingstone Foundation were stupefied after seeing the colour of a river in a galamsey community in the Western Region.

Galamsey is a local word for illegal mining activities that do not abide by the rules of ethical mining. Thus, their actions cause serious harm to the environment and people.

Ghana has been plagued by the galamsey canker for so many years. Over the last few years, its effects have become increasingly glaring as many waste bodies have been rendered useless for domestic and commercial use.

It will only get worse now that we've sold out to the Chinese.

This just brought tears to my eyes, knowing that the same leaders we have mandated through our votes to combat and eliminate this galamsey menace are the same people engaging in them. You try to talk down on it, you get arrested!
