  • The document details a conflict over the construction of a tailings dam on the farm Blinkwater 820 LR by Potgietersrust Platinums Ltd (PPL). It highlights failures in public participation, as the decision to use the land was authorized in 2003 under the Minerals Act 50 of 1991 before community consultations began in 2005. The case raises critical issues regarding the adequacy of compensation paid to the Sekuruwe community, the transparency of negotiations, and the legal relationship between the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) and the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA).
