| Abstract | The socio-economic impact assessment forms part of the environmental authorisation required for the proposed decommissioning of the underground workings of the Ezulwini Mining Corporation (Pty) Ltd (Ezulwini Operations), a subsidiary of Sibanye Gold Limited, situated in the West Rand District, 45 km southwest of Johannesburg in the Gauteng Province. The decommissioning of Ezulwini mainly refers to the closure of the Cooke 4 underground shaft and only considers the implications of the termination at pumping the water from Cooke 4 shaft and the resultant re-watering of the mine shaft. This study does not include the socio-economic impacts of closure of the operations itself since this was dealt with under the Section 52 process of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002 (MPRDA, 2002). |
