We have been living here for the last 20 years ... Tharisa Minerals opened across the N4 Highway & have destroyed our peace of mind, peace & quiet, health, animals & home itself! If we can help stop it from extending to another area ... WE WILL!!! The mining companies all promise to toe the line & not destroy anything ... yet they do!

It is important that the government should start putting the interest of the people and nature first. This Mineral exploration is just to fill a few greedy people's pockets. I say no to this. Save Buffelspoort dam.

We need to pull together to stop netting to save our waters and allow our kids to enjoy and appreciate what south Africa has to offer us. And to help the fish and wildlife to thrive and not have to worry about loosing more species in south Africa.

Please save one of the only clean and unpolluted dams in South Africa, where one can enjoy nature at it's best not far from city centre.

My daughter has spent time here with local families and really saw the benefits of having a beautiful place for the community to relax and play together. You need to keep places like this not just for the community now but for generations to come. Once you have destroyed it there is no reversing it, you need think about the consequences.

Mining licensing in SA is corrupt, massively destructive, and runs roughshod over the people living on the land.

(Barrydale, 2019-12-15)

They wil damage the enviroment and the dam wall

(Buffelspoort, 2019-12-16)

#673

No to any mining or any form of development. They are selfish money chasers and will destroy whatever they can for their own gain. Farmers or owners should refuse and not even concider to sell property to them. Save our environment and Gods creation.

(Rustenburg, 2019-12-16)

We need to conserve the land we can.

(Mooinooi, 2019-12-16)

Clean Water cannot be used for mining. That water must be saved and used for farming.

Mining companies in south africa have become greedy and only cater for a specific race of south africans. They need to be kicked in the teeth for a change
