How to Steal a Goldmine - the Aurora Story by Dianne Hawker

In October 2009 Aurora Empowerment Systems - a black-owned, politically connected business - made a bid to rescue the liquidated Pamodzi Gold mines. On paper, the company looked almost too good to be true - promising to turn the mines into a new business that would offer stellar benefits to workers. Over the next few years, Aurora-managed mines were stripped of assets as illicit payments went to the families of the 'connected ' while workers starved. Despite a litany of evidence of Aurora's dishonesty, to this day little has been done to bring the perpetrators to book.
