JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – The High Court has granted a request by the Centre for Applied Legal Studies (CALS) and Lawyers for Human Rights (LHR), which represent certain mining community organisations, to join the Chamber of Mines’ (CoM’s) application for a review of the third iteration of the Mining Charter.

The CoM had earlier said it did not support the move by CALS and LHR to join its application, as there were material differences in the parties’ grounds for seeking a review of the charter.

Nevertheless, the chamber would now shift its focus to studying Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane’s answering affidavit.

The dates for the hearing of the CoM’s review application by a full bench of the High Court remain December 13 and 14.
