No mining

Moshabi Selowa

Monametse Village is one of the richest communities, though community members live on ghost land. Bokoni Platinum Mine is now very busy with its trucks, cars, and big machines.

Relocated residents are back in a dangerous situation, however, it is not only relocated residents but the the entire village. In 2012 community members lost two children from the Mokgotho Village, which left the family in a devastating situation. The whole village surprisingly never believed that the Bokoni Platinum mine could make such a mistake. The story continues and there’s no safety for children crossing the road while the road is not safe.

Because there are no changes from the previous challenge, for children crossing the road daily. Besides the school children, people used to cross the road daily for shopping and other family stuff, so the community still faces the problems experienced in 2012.

We believe that mining documents such as:

– social Labour Plan

– mining Charter

– safety

Usually controls operation systems in the mining sector, which will link mines and communities affected by mines, considering lives and human rights. Their impacts started later this year by September, which still kept residents in a danger zone. In 2014 when mine Bokoni platinum mine moved people from their Indigenous land, the leaders were not aware of access to information and human rights stuff. Only to find out that the agreement made was final and unchallengeable the fact that whoever challenged the story got arrested. The cause was that straightforward leaders during that time shared information with the mine, Bokoni Platinum Mine used the same strategy being a local business.
