    Dodgy DMR office closes its doors

    The Department of Mineral Resources' Mpumalanga Regional Office has been shut down until further notice, following complaints of corruption and backlogs in issuing licences,
    Gwede Mantashe, mineral resources minister
    Gwede Mantashe, mineral resources minister

    The closure of the office will allow the investigation team set up by Mineral Resources Minister, Gwede Mantashe, in July an opportunity to do its work in the region and provide feedback to the minister in due course. As such, all administrative processes related to that office will be handled from the head office until further notice.

    The online application system, Samrad, will also be closed for Mpumalanga applications. Applications for renewals and graduation of prospecting rights to mining rights should therefore be submitted manually to the Department’s Head Office in Sunnyside, Pretoria.
