The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) is requesting that the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy suspend a decision regarding the amendment of mining rights for the Tormin Mine on the West Coast of South Africa, pending the outcome of an internal appeal and a response to the right holders' opposition.

• The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) lodged an internal appeal on 21 September 2020 under section 96(1) of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 (MPRDA), and a corresponding application for the suspension of a decision regarding the amendment of mining rights for the Tormin Mine.
• Right holders opposed the suspension application on 14 October 2020, claiming the internal appeal is defective due to non-compliance with the amended Regulation 74 of the MPRDA regulations, which took effect on 27 March 2020.
• The CER maintains that there was substantial compliance with Regulation 74 and that the appeal is valid, though it intends to remedy any alleged procedural defects and seek condonation if necessary.
• The CER has requested that the Minister or delegee delay deciding on the suspension application until the CER can deliver a response to the right holders' reply, which it undertook to provide by 28 October 2020.
