Minutes and attendance register for some of the meetings mentioned in Consultation with the local
community started back in early 2008 when the exploration drilling and possible mining of the shallow
reserves at Matadeni was raised at meetings held in Schoemansdal with the Shongwe family of the
Matsamo Traditional Council.
As explained during the meeting which took place at the Witbank Regional Office of the Department of
Mineral Resources ("the Department") on 8 March 2011 minutes of all meetings were not always kept
and in some instances despite the minutes having been requested, the minutes prepared were not
clear or comprehensive. This problem has now been rectified and minutes of all meetings are kept
and in general, digitally recorded either by way of appointing transcription services or using video
recordings.
Two sets of written comments were received by fax from the Mawewe community and the Sibange
community (which essentially registered itself as an interested and affected party).
Although the Mawewe community was not opposed to the mining operation as a whole, it noted
concerns relating to:
• Inadequate public participation; and
• Concerns relating to perceived procedural and legislative irregularities.
