Residents of Charlesville in Jagersfontein, with their municipality, have approached a law firm to sue the diamond mining company whose wastewater dam collapsed, leading to the destruction of homes and public infrastructure.

Yesterday, lawyer Andries Nkome told eNCA news channel that Phosa Loots Attorneys have started preparing to sue the owner of the company for the houses that were lost and the infrastructure that was damaged by the sludge.

“We’ve also received instructions on behalf of the affected families – those who have lost houses and properties. We are in the process of receiving further instruction from those who have lost loved ones, those that ended up in hospital and those that ended up losing their livestock,” said Nkome. Nkome said about 160 homes were damaged by the mud sludge. He said the mud also damaged infrastructure for the municipality.

Nkome said the lawyers were having meetings with representatives from the mine to be sure that they sue the rightful owners of the diamond mine.
