Greenmined will at all times remain independent and will perform its obligations in terms of all relevant Acts, Regulations and Guidelines, as expected from environmental practitioners. All documentation, to date, was based on preliminary data and desktop studies as access to the study area was denied by the landowners, resulting in limited information being provided to all commenting parties. Numerous attempts and letters requesting access to the properties by the applicant was all in vain. Greenmined is unable to provide the I&AP’s and stakeholders with material information with regards to this mining right application and it is therefore clear that the relevant authorities will not be able to make an informed decision, irrespective should it be positive or negative.

Upon commencement, the proposed project will trigger listed activities in terms of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act 107 of 1998) and the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations 2014 (as amended 2017) and therefore requires an environmental impact assessment (EIA) that assess project specific environmental impacts and alternatives, consider public input, and propose mitigation measures in cooperation with specialists, to ultimately culminate in an environmental management programme that informs the competent authority (Department of Mineral Resources) when considering the environmental authorisation. This report, the Draft Scoping Report, forms part of the departmental requirements, and presents the first report of the EIA process.

  • Newlands Cricket Ground and the Roots of Apartheid in South African Cricket
    15 ANDRE ODENDAAL Cricket and representations of beauty: Newlands Cricket Ground and the roots of apartheid in South African cricket In January 2010, England played South Africa in the traditional New Year’s Test at Newlands in Cape Town. Former England captain Michael Atherton led his story in the London Sunday Times with an ode to the beauty of the stadium: A new year of Test cricket dawns for England at one of the most stunning venues in the world game. Newlands was shimmering on Friday morning under the shadow of Table Mountain, Cape Town’s defi ning feature, as both sets of players prepared for the pivotal Test of the series.1 England captain Andrew Strauss was equally respectful of the venue and throughout the match the media framed the ground as ‘picture perfect’. The Times from Johannesburg, its front page dominated by a colour photograph of Newlands, dubbed it the ‘Field of Dreams’. Even the Canon Chancellor of Blackburn Cathedral, Chris Chivers, joined in the reifi cation of this space. In a thoughtful article in the Cape Times , he mused on how epic battles on the sports fi eld mirror the real-life struggles against fear, failure and pain that every individual is engaged in. Newlands was his starting point: ‘nothing beats a Test match played at Newlands, beneath one of the most spectacular mountains in the world.’ Furthermore, watching a game here provides a perfect setting for under- standing deeper things about life, for ‘aesthetics – as the Ancient Greeks knew only too well – sets the stage for contests which are often of the most epic proportion’.2 Newlands and the mountain that towers over it have been lyricised for over 120 years in this way.
