Description
Mining is bad for our food production and seriously impact our soil.Most of the rivers start in Mpumalanga.The water is now polluted.The river flows into many streams and our families use that water to drink,wash clothes and for cooking

Farmers uses water for producing food that they need to sell to the market.Now some of the farmers stop producing vegetables and fruit because of the polluted water and they have lost their resources of income and jobs have been taken away from the farm workers.
We are losing our indigenous plans.The western part of our country is now a desert,in the south there is a lot of rain and the soil is fertilised,but there are mines
The mines are good lies when it comes to communities rights

Mines have to be stopped, they can't take profits and leave us with illness,no employment,no water and no clean air
