Sep 11, 2024 marks the second anniversary of the Jagersfontein tailings dam failure in Free State, South Africa. On 11 Sept 2022, the tailings dam failed and inundated homes in Charlesville and Skoti. Many people are still displaced and have not been compensated for basic losses. Reclamation of waterways and farmland is slow and difficult. University of the Free State (UFS) hosted a photo and film exhibition yesterday, following a research collaboration with The University of Queensland, UFS is helping to build an archive of stories, pictures, and documents with local people, and for the public record. #mining#tailings#GISTM#community#disaster#engineering#justice
