Five companies, led by Zurivision, have taken the department of mineral resources to court over its awarding of a licence to the Aussie mining giant

A showdown looms in the high court in Pretoria about the Mpumalanga mining rights of Australian mining giant South32 SA Coal Holdings.

In its court papers, Zurivision said: “The documents requested by DMR in its purported letter of acceptance dated 25 February 2014 were actually uploaded onto the DMR system on 13 May 2013, being some nine months prior to the alleged letter of acceptance … The purported acceptance letter referred to above was only uploaded on the DMR system on Saturday, 23 February 2019 being some five years after the said letter was allegedly authored or dispatched to South32.

Together with Exxaro, South32 supplies more than 70% of Eskom’s coal. Its BEE partners include the Phembani Group, which is owned by Phuthuma Nhleko, who bought President Cyril Ramaphosa’s assets when he returned to politics. In January this year Teke made a donation to the president’s CR17 campaign, which had concluded at the end of 2017.

The appeals were subsequent to the department denying the five companies small-scale mining permits and mining rights, in favour of South32.
