APPELLANTS’ RESPONDING STATEMENT, IN TERMS OF REGULATION 74(8) OF THE MINERAL AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, 2004, TO ATHA-AFRICA VENTURES (PTY) LTD’S REPLYING SUBMISSION
This responding statement, submitted by the Centre for Environmental Rights on behalf of eight appellants, challenges the Department of Mineral Resources' (DMR) approval of the Environmental Management Programme (EMPR) for Atha-Africa Ventures (Pty) Ltd's proposed Yzermyn mine. The appellants argue that the approved EMPR authorizes an environmentally destructive discard dump, ignores extensive government conservation policies for the area, and contains woefully inadequate financial provisions for rehabilitation.
