[DOC] Anglo Platinum’s response to article by Mathibela Mankge on Anglo Platinum’s alleged intention to expropriate cultural land for dam construction

As part of its feasibility study, Anglo Platinum commissioned various specialist studies and consulted all interested and affected parties as required...The graves and sacred pools were addressed in the EIA documentation and will be dealt with in a proper manner on receiving approval for the dam by the DEAT...Regarding the value of the St George farm: The Anglo Platinum offer is substantially higher than the value determined by Africa EPA on behalf of the Department of Land Affairs...In view of the above it is clear that this dispute is not about heritage and the agricultural value of the property but more likely an attempt to gain a share in, or a partnership with, Anglo Platinum.
