The Mineral Resources Minister will have to obtain the full and formal consent of the Xolobeni community prior to granting anyone the right to mine titanium at Umgungundlovu, on the Wild Coast. South Africa’s Gulliver-size mineral wealth, which provides taxes, royalties, jobs, foreign investment and foreign exchange that benefits all the South African people, is now being tied down by the few in a manner that puts an end to any future prospect of an economic win-win-win for all. As Richards Bay Minerals can show anyone who cares to visit its wonderfully restored sand mines, the form of mining planned at Xolobeni today comes with rapid environmental rehabilitation that renders the place better than before. But, in the North Gauteng High Court, Judge Annali Basson declared the community king, which has halted the kind of wealth creation that South Africa needs.
