A letter from the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) to the Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) regarding the status of the Thabametsi and Khanyisa IPP power station projects.

This document is a legal judgement from the High Court of South Africa (North Gauteng Local Division) regarding a case brought by the Libradene Residents Association against the Minister of Mineral Resources and others. The residents sought to stop mining activities in the Libradene area, arguing that the mining was unlawful, caused significant environmental and structural damage to their properties, and violated their constitutional rights to a healthy environment and property. The court examined the validity of mining rights granted under the Minerals Act of 1991 and the subsequent Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) of 2002, ultimately focusing on whether the mining operations complied with legal requirements and environmental regulations.

This case study details the legal challenges brought by a coalition of environmental and civil society organizations against Limpopo Coal (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of Coal of Africa (CoAL), regarding the establishment of the Vele colliery in Musina, Limpopo Province. The challenges span four distinct legal processes involving mining rights, environmental management programmes (EMP), water use licences (WUL), and compliance with nature reserve protections.

This document is a letter from Eskom to the South African Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) dated 17 July 2014. It provides additional information to support Eskom's application to postpone compliance with the Minimum Emission Standards (MES) for the Majuba Power Station.

This document is an Atmospheric Emission Licence (AEL) issued on 23 June 2015 by the Gert Sibande District Municipality to Eskom Holdings SOC Limited for the Majuba Power Station. The licence, granted under the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act, 2004, serves as a provisional transfer from an APPA registration certificate to an AEL and is valid for a period not exceeding 12 months.

A letter from the South African Department of Environmental Affairs to Eskom regarding the Majuba Power Station's application for the postponement of compliance with the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act 39 of 2004 minimum emission standards.

A letter from Eskom's Majuba Power Station to the Gert Sibande District Municipality reporting the availability of continuous dust emissions monitors from April 2015 to March 2016. It notes that gaseous emission monitors were only commissioned in April 2016 and explains availability gaps for Unit 5 (overhaul) and Unit 4 (equipment drift).

This report proposes a spatial management system for South Africa's four Marine Planning Areas (Western, Southern, Eastern, and Prince Edward Islands). The system utilizes general and sector-specific development guidelines alongside a comprehensive zoning scheme—categorizing uses as primary, consent, or prohibited—to coordinate human activities, protect biodiversity, and stimulate the ocean economy within South Africa's Exclusive Economic Zone.

This briefing is a letter from Eskom to the South African Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) dated 17 July 2014. It provides additional information regarding Eskom's application to postpone compliance with Minimum Emission Standards (MES) at the Matimba Power Station, detailing current emission limits, planned compliance strategies, and ambient air quality monitoring data from the Marapong station.

A Provisional Atmospheric Emission License issued on 31 March 2015 by the Limpopo Provincial Government to Eskom for the Matimba Power Station, authorizing electricity generation via solid fuel combustion and associated storage activities until 01 April 2020.

A cover letter from Matimba Power Station to the Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism submitting a correlation test report to comply with Minimum Emission Standard requirements.

This November 2006 report by Airshed Planning Professionals (Pty) Ltd, commissioned by Eskom Holdings Limited, assesses the inhalation-related health risks associated with the existing Matimba Power Station and the proposed Project Alpha power station in the Lephalale area of Limpopo Province. The study focuses on particulate matter (PM10), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), utilizing CALPUFF dispersion modelling and 2001 census population data to estimate premature mortalities and respiratory hospital admissions.

This report details the methodology and emissions inventory used for an air pollution health risk analysis concerning the existing Matimba Power Station and the proposed Project Alpha Power Station in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. It describes the use of CALMET and CALPUFF dispersion models to simulate pollutant concentrations and the subsequent application of dose-response relationships to estimate health risks, specifically total non-accidental mortality and respiratory hospital admissions.

This report section details a health risk assessment for the area surrounding the Matimba Power Station in Limpopo Province, South Africa. It evaluates the impact of air pollutants—specifically sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and particulate matter (PM10)—from power station emissions, household fuel burning, and brickmaking on non-accidental mortality and respiratory hospital admissions.

This report analyzes the health risks associated with air pollution from the existing Matimba Power Station and the proposed Project Alpha in Limpopo Province, South Africa. It compares scenarios with and without sulphur dioxide (SO2) controls for Project Alpha, estimating the impact on non-accidental mortality and respiratory hospital admissions (RHAs).

This 2006 report by INFOTOX for Eskom reviews international literature to identify risk factors for quantifying health impacts associated with PM, NO2, and SO2 emissions. It highlights the cardiovascular and respiratory risks of particulate matter, identifies highly susceptible subpopulations (children, elderly, and the chronically ill), and notes significant data gaps in South African provincial hospital admission records that hinder precise local risk quantification.

This report reviews risk factors to quantify the potential health impacts of particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions from various Eskom operations. It synthesizes global epidemiological data from organizations like the WHO and USEPA to establish risk estimates for mortality and morbidity, while incorporating South African provincial population and health data to support a health risk assessment.

This report, prepared by INFOTOX (Pty) Ltd for Eskom Holdings, evaluates the confidence levels and uncertainties associated with the health risk assessment of particulate matter (PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from Eskom operations. It concludes that risk quantifications based on mortality and particulate matter are more reliable than those based on hospitalisation and gaseous pollutants.

A letter from the South African Department of Environmental Affairs to Eskom regarding the Matimba Power Station's application for postponement of compliance with the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act 39 of 2004 minimum emission standards.

This document is an annual emissions report for the Matimba Power Station, submitted by Eskom to the Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism. It covers the reporting period from April 2016 to March 2017, detailing verified emissions of carbon dioxide, particulates, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, as well as compliance with atmospheric emission licenses.
