This is often on the grounds that communities haven’t been consulted before mines were given permission to start digging and blasting on their land. Environmental justice researcher Mzingaye Brilliant Xaba has tracked the legal cases against mines since 2015. He analysed court rulings, research and media coverage. His research has found that environmentalists have managed to use lawsuits to firmly establish land rights. This means the state and industry will find it very difficult to launch mining projects without meaningful consultation with communities that will be affected. 1-266802 Thu, 26 Mar 2026 15:48:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Mining South Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/rising-energy-costs-pose-risks-to-south-africa-mining-exports-399428a According to United Manganese of Kalahari (UMK) chief executive Malcolm Curror, the current state of the world’s energy and oil markets may have a long-lasting effect on South Africa's mineral export sector. 1-266773 Wed, 25 Mar 2026 09:46:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Mining South Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/south-africa-gold-producers-stay-in-the-shallows-as-prices-surge-955064a Record gold prices are pushing South Africa's beleaguered mining industry to find new ways to recover the metal that sidestep the costly deep-shaft mining of old, industry executives said. 1-266754 Tue, 24 Mar 2026 15:22:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Mining South Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/how-anglo-american-kumba-iron-ore-is-tackling-water-scarcity-with-technology-288347a Anglo American’s Kumba Iron Ore has developed an ambitious water stewardship approach to address water scarcity in the Northern Cape. 1-266730 Tue, 24 Mar 2026 11:56:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Mining South Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/electra-mining-africa-adds-new-outside-area-showcasing-top-oems-and-leading-component-suppliers-288327a South Africa’s mining, power, electrical, automation, industrial, transport, and manufacturing sectors are the engine of the nation’s economy.
