Summary
This document is a draft reply from the South African Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs to a National Assembly question (Question 691) regarding the costs and timeframes for treating acid mine drainage in the Western, Central, and Eastern Basins.
Key insights
- The Department of Water and Environmental Affairs is developing an engineering solution based on recommendations from a team of experts, but final cost estimates for capital and operation are still being refined and are not yet available for circulation.
- The Department is in discussions with the Chamber of Mines and existing mines located in the Western, Central, and Eastern Basins to establish how costs for pumping and treatment might be apportioned.
- The expert panel's report specifically focuses on the Witwatersrand Gold Fields, with a particular emphasis on the Eastern, Central, and Western Basins.
