Elton T. is a community activist of the mining communities of the platinum belt in Limpopo and a member of the steering committee of the Mining and Environmental Justice Community Network of South Africa (MEJCON), which has engaged in a government-led process aimed at creating a national mining charter that would establish rules to distribute the country’s mineral wealth more equally among citizens, including by increasing the percentage of black mine ownership and community benefits. Elton expressed concern about the lack of community involvement at national mining charter meetings in late 2017. In December 2017, he started receiving calls from a private number threatening that if he continued his involvement at the mining charter meetings, the caller would “make a plan” to make him stop. He received four calls within a few weeks warning him to withdraw from the process. Despite the threats, Elton continued his activism.
