The Portfolio Committee on Mineral Resources and Energy will, from August 24, embark on a four-day oversight visit to illegal mining hotspots in North West and Gauteng at the old Scot mine in Klerksdorp; Batlhako, and Ruighoek mines in Witrantjies Village outside Rustenburg; and Riverlea, in Gauteng. The committee is conducting these oversight visits to follow up on the recommendations of the joint oversight visit on illegal mining report, which was adopted by the National Assembly (NA) in November 2022.
The Portfolio Committee on Mineral Resources and Energy will, from August 24, embark on a four-day oversight visit to illegal mining hotspots in North West and Gauteng at the old Scot mine in Klerksdorp; Batlhako, and Ruighoek mines in Witrantjies Village outside Rustenburg; and Riverlea, in Gauteng.
Some of the recommendations call upon the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy to collaborate with relevant stakeholders and demolish disused shafts at the old Scot mine in Klerksdorp, and with the North West DMRE regional office to collaborate with the South African Police Services in the province to fight illegal mining.
It will then conduct an inspection in loco at the old Scot mine, where the DMRE North West regional office undertook to demolish and rehabilitate disused mine shafts by January. On August 26, the committee will be in Gauteng to engage with the DMRE, Saps and communities affected by illegal mining in Riverlea. This comes in the wake of the recent shootouts between rival groups of illegal miners and subsequent protests by community members.
