Penhalonga Community Environmental Audit Report

The Penhalonga Community Environmental Audit Report describes a community-led 'ground-truthing' process conducted over 16 months to examine company compliance with environmental laws and regulations in Penhalonga, Zimbabwe, a region historically impacted by gold mining.

• Gold mining is a long-standing livelihood activity in Penhalonga that became formalized through big business in the last century, leading to landscape and environmental alterations because environmental laws did not evolve as quickly as the mining industry.
• Key environmental regulations in Zimbabwe were enacted relatively recently: Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) laws were established in 2003 via the Environment Management Act (Chapter 20:27) and the EIA and Ecosystems Protection Regulation Statutory Instrument 7 of 2007, while riverbed mining was prohibited in 2014 under the Environmental Management (Control of Alluvial Mining) Regulations Statutory Instrument 92 of 2014.
