The Minerals Council South Africa said on Wednesday it had filed an application for the judicial review and setting aside of certain clauses of the mining charter published last year.
CEO Roger Baxter reiterated the stance of the council – which represents major mining companies operating in South Africa – that most aspects of the charter represented a reasonable and workable framework, but that the provision that it did not fully recognise the continuing consequences of previous empowerment transactions, particularly in respect of mining right renewals and transfers of these rights, was untenable.
The Minerals Council said it had delayed bringing the application in the hope that discussions with Mantashe would be successful but, given the 180-day deadline imposed by the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act, it was obliged to launch the review proceedings on March 26.
