The Special Committee on Apartheid was informed this afternoon that a South African magistrate, conducting an inquest into the shooting of African mineworkers at Carletonville on UL September, had "completely exonerated the police from any blame attached to the killings" and that the police officer who had directed the shooting had been promoted, retroactive to 1 August. The Rapporteur of the Committee, Syed Barakat Ahmad (India), in a statement on recent developments in South Africa, said the announcement of the South African Government that "a judicial enquiry" would be held on the matter had. turned out to be. "a fraud". On another development, Mr. Barakat Ahmad said the South African Govern- ment had banned the meeting planned by the Ahmed Timol Memorial Committee to hold a special meeting on 21 October to observe the Day of Solidarity with South African Prisoners. However, students at Witwatersrand University had hastily convened a meeting at the University that day, and a message sent by the Special Committee on Apartheid (see Press Release GA/AP/357) had been read. At this afternoon's meeting, the Committee also heard a report by Hussein Nur Elmi (Somalia), who represented the Committee at the World Congress of Peace Forces, held in Moscow in October. Peru informed the Committee that it had "decided to refuse to permit South African sportsmen to enter Peru as long as the policy of apartheid is maintained", • , =i The Committee will meet again sometime next week to consider, among other things, arrangements for a.special session to be held in Europe in 197^. Statement on Carletonville Inquest The-Rapporteur, Mr. BARAKAT AHMAD (India), in his statement this' afternoon, recalled that South Africa had stated, in a letter and memorandum addressed to Secretary-General Kurt Waldheira on 3 October (document A/9188- S/11007) that "a judicial enquiry" would shortly take place regarding "the riots which occurred at the Western Deep Levels Gold Mine at Carletonville, near Johannesburg, on 11 September, and the deaths resulting therefrom".

(FOR USE OF INFORMATION MEDIA — NOT AN OFFICIAL RECORD) Press Release GA/AP/360 22 October 1973 TEXT OF STATEMENT BY APARTHEID COMMITTEE ON PROPOSED INQUIRY INTO SHOOTING_OF AFRICAN MINEWORKERS IN SOUTH AFRICA Following is the text of a statement issued today by the Special Committee on Apartheid: "The Special Committee on Apartheid has taken note of the letter* dated 16 October from the Secretary-General informing the Committee that the South African regime has refused to agree to the participation of a representative of the Secretary-General in the proposed inquiry into the police shooting of African minevorkers at Carletonville on 11 September. The South African regime lias declined even to agree to the presence of a representative of the Secretary-General as an observer at the inquiry. "The Special Committee is not surprised at the reply of the South African regime to the suggestion made by the Secretary-General in pursuance of a request by-the Special Committee. It is one more evidence of the intransigence of the Pretoria regime. "The Special Committee rejects the contention that the killing of African mineworkers was a 'purely domestic affair' of the racist minority regime which cannot e'ven validly claim to represent South Africa. Not only has the United Nations affirmed in numerous resolutions that the policies of apartheid of this regime are a matter of international concern, but the incident on 11 September involved the killing and wounding of nationals of Lesotho, Botswana and Swaziland. "The Committee notes that Mr. Balthazar Vorster, the Prime Minister of the Pretoria regime, has already prejudged the issue by defending the police even before announcing an inquiry. It also notes that a number of African workers have been put on trial in an effort to shift the blame for the murders to the African workers. "Finally, the Foreign Minister of the South African regime has made a fjtatement on this massacre in the General Assembly and his representative has sent to the United Nations a one-sided account for (more) For text of letter, see Press Release GA/AP/J59 of 19 October. - 2 - Press Release GA/AP/J60 22.

  • A Review of the Sequential Grid Mining Method Employed at Elandsrand Gold Mine
    A review of the sequential grid mining method employed at Elandsrand Gold Mine by M.F. Handley*, J.A.J. de Lange**, F. Essrich†, and J.A. Banning‡ Synopsis Sequential grid mining has been employed as the primary mining strategy at the AngloGold West Wits Elandsrand Mine since the inception of stoping operations from the sub-vertical shaft system in 1988. Little has been published on sequential grid mining as a mining strategy since, and the purpose of this paper is to describe sequential grid mining, its history, its implementation at Elandsrand, and the outcome to date. The results obtained using sequential grid mining have been evaluated from seismic data, productivity statistics, and rock related accident statistics. Comparisons with neighbouring mines, namely Western Deep Levels and Deelkraal, have been made to substantiate the improved conditions observed at Elandsrand, and to compare sequential grid mining directly with longwall mining in similar conditions and at similar depths. Sequential grid mMining is shown to be cost-effective, more flexible, and safer than longwall mining in similar conditions, at least on the Ventersdorp Contact Reef in the western part of the Carletonville Goldfield. More work is necessary to establish it as the favoured mining strategy at depths exceeding 3000 metres, and for reefs other than the Ventersdorp Contact Reef. Figure 1—Location of Elandsrand Gold Mining Company Limited Deelkraal and Western Deep Levels will not Introduction be included in the forthcoming discussion— except for a comparison of the seismic Elandsrand Gold Mining Company Limited was response to longwall mining and sequential incorporated in 1974 to mine the Ventersdorp grid mining—because neither played a part in Contact Reef (VCR) on a mining lease of 2619 the development of sequential grid mining.

  • Energy Efficiency Opportunities in Mine Compressed Air Systems
    ENERGY EFFICIENCY OPPORTUNITIES IN MINE COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS F.W. SCHROEDER Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Magister Ingeneriae In Mechanical Engineering At the North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus Promoter: Dr. Marius Kleingeld November 2009 Pretoria ABSTRACT ABSTRACT TITLE : ENERGY EFFICIENCY OPPORTUNITIES IN MINE COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS AUTHOR : FREDERICK WILLIAM SCHROEDER PROMOTER : DR. MARIUS KLEINGELD SCHOOL : MECHANICAL ENGINEERING FACULTY : ENGINEERING DEGREE : MAGISTER INGENERIAE SEARCH TERMS : COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS, COMPRESSORS , DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT , ENERGY SAVINGS , ENERGY EFFICIENCY Demand Side Management (DSM) is one of the most viable and sustainable short term methods to address the shortfall in electricity generation in South Africa. This is because DSM projects can be implemented relatively quickly and inexpensively when compared with alternative generation options. This specifically applies to the mining industry. South African mines presently consume 15% of Eskom-generated electricity. Mine compressed air systems are some of the biggest users, consuming approximately 21% of mine electricity consumption. Electricity savings on compressed air systems are therefore important. With this study, various Energy Efficiency methods on compressed air systems were investigated. These methods include variable speed drives on compressor motors, temperature control of compressor discharge, minimising pressure drops in the air distribution systems, eliminating compressed air leaks, and optimising compressor selection and control. The most efficient strategies were identified, taking into account factors such as financial viability, sustainability, and ease of implementation. The best strategies were found to be the optimised control and selection of compressors, minimising compressed air leaks, and the i ABSTRACT optimal control of system pressure. These strategies were implemented and tested on large compressed air systems in gold and platinum mines.
