Mining activities still dispossess black families in SA

File: Dispossession in South Africa is associated with the period of colonialism and apartheid, not much consideration is given to how black communities continue to be dispossessed by coal-mining activities.JOHANNESBURG - Dispossession in South Africa is associated with the period of colonialism and apartheid. As a result, not much consideration is given to how previously marginalised black communities continue to be dispossessed by coal-mining activities in democratic South Africa.

As part of the relocation, at least 1,000 graves were relocated from Tweefontein farm. The graves belonged to former migrant labourers and labour tenants who came from various parts of South Africa and from other countries such as Mozambique and Swaziland. Most of the deceased people’s relatives live in the surrounding black townships such as Phola and Witbank. Others left a long time ago. This meant that some graves were claimed and others were not.

The result is that the laws undermine the government’s stated objective of protecting previously marginalised communities.

With the TKLB likely to be signed by the President Ramaphoria, things will get worse for mining affected communities especially in rural Limpopo Province

Communities where mining activities takes place are supposed to be well developed but that is not the case.

I'm Lil worried

At this moment in time they must thank god they have a job
