Stop the coal mine next to the Kruger National Park!

Arising from Manzolwandle Investments’ latest application to mine coal in an area of approximately 18000 hectares close to Komatipoort and the Kruger National Park, the agricultural network Saai – representative of family farmers – will again oppose this development to ensure it does not succeed.

The target area mainly comprises irrigation agriculture in export industries, as well as high-intensity farms that have a large number of workers in employ. Acid rain, coal dust, hundreds of trucks destroying roads, an increase in cattle theft, air and water pollution and noise are but a few disadvantages and side effects that mining activities would cause for nearby agricultural production.

Help us to stop this mining development by adding your name and sharing this petition with your friends.
