Community members of Hwelereng village, near Lebowakgomo in Limpopo, are demanding for the reopening of a mine shaft in the area.

The mine that was closed in 2009, currently only has one shaft operating with fewer workers where raw materials are processed and distributed to a smelter plant in Polokwane. One of residents says, “The closure of the mine has affected us a lot as the community, our kids are not working, they can’t get bursaries and they don’t assist the community. We try to engage the mine with these issues but they don’t want to listen to us. Our community is not benefiting.”Community leader Freddy Ledwaba says the mine’s care and maintenance period has lapsed. He says the mine is not adhering to its social labour plans.
