Almost 18 million dollars due to a community on South Africa’s so-called Diamond Coast cannot be accounted for, according to a report by MPs.
The money was part of a restitution deal in 2007 agreed between the government and the local Nama community in the west of the country.
The Nama accuse big mining companies - like the state-owned Alexkor - of leaving behind significant economic and environmental damage. This is despite a law requiring mining companies to rehabilitate the areas where they’ve operated.
Alexkor says it disagrees that it has not complied with its socio-economic responsibilities but admits that the Nama have not received the full economic benefit from mining operations.
