The attacks are getting closer and the violence is only one of the problems facing the security. Little voice is often good because these are just coming from in the morning security chief frank brands and his team plan the day a heads up over the driver. Meanwhile a few 100 meters away and novice straggle is beginning every day up to 200 people illegally enter the open cast mine hoping to share in the regents mineral wealth using simple tools, they dig tunnels up to 15 meters deep. The mine uses thrown pilots to trick the illegal mining. Coordinating with the security style i teach. Ive had russia go log when he kind of printed okay here for install office. You had offered your doctors your copier. So ive yet to russia go this time only one of the men is caught. I will take it off much. Oh no, no. Im not lucy. This madam allow you to cry.
