Rural community divided over open-pit iron-ore mining in KZN
A mining company owned by Mauritius-based entity Jindal Steel and Power together with a South African BBBEE partner holding a 25% stake in the project are at the centre of a storm over mining rights in a rural KwaZulu-Natal community.
The company faces opposition to developing an open-pit iron-ore mine and a processing facility in the foothills of eMakhasaneni under the Mthonjaneni local municipality.
The project was halted in 2016 following strong opposition from residents and various environmental rights organisations.
