S. Africa: NGO raises concerns of major pollution & environmental harm from a proposed multi-billion rand project

‘Multi-billion rand ‘mega project’ sparks major pollution concerns’ 29 March 2021

A multi-billion rand industrial project planned for Limpopo has raised concerns of catastrophic pollution and environmental damage. Reuters reported that the Musina-Makhado Energy-Metallurgical Special Economic Zone (EMSEZ) will consist of a cluster of 20 steel and other metalworking plants which are fuelled by a coal-fired power station….However, the Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), a South African environmental law organisation, has submitted comments opposing the project on behalf of green groups. “We have strong objections to the project – which entails the development of massive, unnecessary and expensive polluting infrastructure,” said Michelle Koyama, an attorney with the CER to Reuters.

…A massive rollout of infrastructure throughout the country is one of the key interventions identified as part of president Cyril Ramaphosa’s Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan. In his 2021 state of the nation address, the president said that government has now developed an infrastructure investment project pipeline worth R340 billion in network industries such as energy, water, transport and telecommunications.
