A young Ghanaian man is receiving a lot of flak on social media after criticising the people who took to the streets to call for an end to illegal mining, also known as Galamsey.

This comes after he posted a video of himself standing on a Galamsey site, where he made it known that he was involved in illegal mining and had no plans to stop it.

Turning his attention to the recent Stop Galamsey Now protest, the young man who was all smiles opined that the people who participated in that protest were gainfully employed, unlike him, whose survival depended on mining.
