Hi All,
Please forward to all.
1 year ago Antoinette Pietersen work for SEFA on the EIA and is now working for
Ferret Mining & Environmental Services (Pty) Ltd to amend the EIA for CRG.
When the community requests information, it is not forthcoming, a year latter,
information is again requested by the Federation for a Sustainable Environment
on behalf of Our Communities and again with a new CRG CEO, information is not
made available to the public upon request.
The question (Social License) then is to the South African Community:
1. What Strategy has been Developed by CRG;
2. Is Apartheid Experience post 1994 being used;
3. Why was the Water Use not included in first application???

Subject: FINAL REQUEST FOR APPROVED EMP
Importance: High
Dear Antoinette,
I refer to the appended invitation to participate in the amendment of the
approved Environmental Management Program of Central Rand Gold.
Regrettably, my request, in terms of the provisions of the Promotion of Access
to Information Act, No 2 of 2000, for the approved Environmental Management
Plan, which I have submitted in the prescribed format on the 8th of March, 2009
to Mr. Johan du Toit, the CEO of CRG, was refused. As you may reflect, in
terms of the PAIA, the failure by CRG to respond within 30 days constitutes a
refusal.
We are of the opinion that the public participation process for the amendment
of the approved EMP will be fatally flawed, procedurally unfair and
unreasonable and will lead to conflict and legal review under the Promotion of
Administrative Justice Act, 3 of 2000 (“PAJA”) since we were refused access to
the approved EMP.
For the sake of clarity we wish to make the following statement of what we
believe to be the basis, inter alia, for a process that will lead to meaningful
and effective participation. These are by no means exhaustive and include, but
are not limited to the following:
1. Sufficient information must be provided to I&AP’s in order
to enable them to tender helpful informed advice and comment.
2. All the relevant documentation must be made available to
I&AP’s for comment, particularly the approved EMP which CRG intends to amend.
3. We, as the I&AP’s will not be in the position to comment
meaningfully on the amendment without full and exact knowledge of the contents
of the approved EMP.
I respectfully request you to please include this e-mail and appended document
entitled “Request for Access to Record Central Rand Gold” in the comments
received from I&AP’s in terms of the Public Participation Process.
Sincerely yours,
Mariette Liefferink.
CEO: FEDERATION FOR A SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT.
