The Truth about Mpumalanga Coal Mines Failure to Comply with their Water Use Licences
The report finds a systemic collapse of water resource regulation in Mpumalanga's coal mining sector. It details how the Department of Water & Sanitation (DWS) fails to issue timely licences, monitor compliance, or enforce penalties. Mining companies are found to unilaterally deviate from licence conditions and ignore pollution prevention, while independent auditors provide misleading 'compliant' ratings based on visual inspections rather than scientific data. This regulatory failure has led to severe water quality degradation in the Olifants River Catchment, including acid mine drainage and the contamination of groundwater and surface water.
