A recent gold discovery in a cattle pen has sparked a gold rush in Springs, an informal settlement east of Johannesburg, South Africa. Residents are flocking to the area, digging for gold in scenes reminiscent of the gold rush that built South Africa's economic capital over a century ago.

• A gram of gold is worth approximately $100 (£74), significantly higher than the monthly minimum wage in South Africa of $368 (£270).
• The South Africa Department of Mineral Resources has condemned the illegal mining activity, warning of environmental damage and significant risks to the community, especially children, due to unstable ground.
• Many miners, some from neighboring Lesotho, told the BBC they view this as their only means of income, with some stating it prevents them from engaging in more serious crimes.
