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 Inclusion, Empowerment & Social Justice South Africa
