Please see attached invitation to a meeting on the Acid Mine Drainage problem in the Magaliesburg / Cradle of Humankind area. The meeting is being held this Saturday (10 Dec) at the Maropeng Visitor Centre from 12am until 13:30am.
It would be an important time for the Magaliesburg and surrounding communities to engage with GDARD regarding not only current acid mine drainage contamination problems in the area but also to prevent the DMR from issuing ANY mining licenses in Koesterfontein, Goudkoppies and Golden Valley which will only further exacerbate the problems here and further downstream.
Our constitution states we have "the right to an environment that is not harmful to our health and well being" it is TIME to see this clause of the constitution upheld.
ENOUGH poisoning of our communities and groundwater .. ENOUGH !!!!
