CSOs 4 Tailings Justice

From the video it looks quite expansive and wide. Before the solutions proffered by the CEO, in his X, we need to know the extent of the damage – preferably to be done by independent experts.

As indicated in our initial press release, under Chapter 12 of the NWA, tailings facilities meeting safety risk criteria (such as wall height and storage capacity) must be registered and managed under strict engineering standards. We have not seen this company on the dam register. Reports are emerging now about concerns for the seepage into our groundwater sources of the thick, muddy sludge that has impacted onto nearby roads, damaging Eskom infrastructure and disrupting power.People must be at the centre of safety and leaders must include affected communities in understanding what happened and what plans exist to remedy these.
