Unpacking the State of Mine Closures within the SADC Region
In this week’s article, Ropafadzo Maphosa and Thato Gaffane examine the effects of mine closures in the SADC region. The article underscores the negligence of mining companies towards communities and the environment. Based on their 2024 report commissioned by Lawyers for Human Rights and Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung, the authors call for better regional policies, improved legislation, effective environmental management, and greater community involvement to mitigate adverse impacts and ensure sustainable development.
