The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) wrote a letter to the Australian High Commissioner to South Africa on 4 April 2016, requesting clarification regarding a $15,431.00 grant provided to 'MRC Resources' via the Australian Direct Aid Program between 2003/4 and 2013/14 for the 'upgrade of existing fresh water borehole'. The CER questions why a profit-making Australian company, Mineral Commodities Limited (MRC), or its subsidiaries would receive funding intended for poverty reduction and sustainable development, particularly given the social unrest and violence associated with MRC's mineral sands projects in South Africa.
