To date, 507 of 517 households have been successfully moved 32km to replacement homes in the new purpose-built suburb of Siyathemba. Negotiations continue with the remaining 10 households on the settlement, but also include deliberations with a much more complicated and unforeseen demographic, referred to as “renters”.
The resources company has donated the land to Gamagara local municipality, which will take over the running of the residential complex when the current management company’s contract expires in 2021. Only 54 units are presently occupied. The resettlement process comes with a price tag of R3-billion, which Kumba CEO Themba Mkhwanazi says is considered an associated cost in maintaining the life of the mine. The current lifespan of the mining operations at Sishen is estimated at 13 years, with the option of extending it to 20 years if current exploration projects — including extending blasting and extraction endeavours around the Dingleton — pans out.
At the launch of the new youth centre in the Northern Cape’s newest living establishment on 16 April 2019, to which thewas invited, the Kumba executive didn’t want to get dragged into specifics around the costings of maintaining the life span status quo, or how the R3-billion allocated to the resettlement project fits into the plan, for that matter.
Property values in Kathu are also generally sky high. Dictated by the market, house prices average around R1.5-million — in the small mining town where finding a place to live is not an easy task, especially for the five households which opted to be bought and had to find alternative lodging outside the suburb, for which Kumba will pay for. Some have even moved out of the region.
