I have chosen Robby Mokgalaka to help us about our coal mining concerns in South Africa. He is the big man he went around and talked to the owners of the coal mining companies and said “do you know what your doing here? Your destroying Africa!” He talked to Birgit Schwarz the 7th largest coal producer in Africa in a 1 on 1 conversation. Most mining in South Africa takes place in rural areas, where people live off the land and their livestock. Mining often forces people to leave the land they use for farming and grazing. Mining companies by law are required to make binding commitments for projects that will benefit a community that will be affected by mining.

The coal mining people are pretty much just stealing the poor land and nobody is doing anything about it! when the poor don’t have their farm land or there house because there land was stolen where do they go? Exposure to coal dust puts people’s health in danger. When inhaled, this very fine dust can cause respiratory problems, coughs, and cause asthma. People end up having to see doctors, which they cannot afford because coal mines have taken their homes away and they don’t have much money to begin with! Im glad this gut is doing something about it!
