Abstract

Billionaire Patrice Motsepe's company, Kropz Plc, has applied to mine for phosphate in South Africa's West Coast National Park, leading to protests from the World Wildlife Fund for Nature. The WWF is concerned about the potential impact on biodiversity within the national park and has taken legal action against the government over previous decisions related to the Elandsfontein Mine. Environmentalists fear that the proposed mine could harm the Langebaan Lagoon and aquifer, which are important ecological features in the area. [Extracted from the article]
