ProposalDescription: 

Proposed Exxaro Belfast Resettlement Project on portion 13 of the farm Zoekop 462 JS, Remainder of the farm Paardeplaats 425 and portion 13 of the farm Leeuwbank 427 JS, Mpumalanga Province

Expanded_Motivation: 

Exxaro Coal Mpumalanga (Pty) Ltd. (hereafter referred to as Exxaro) is in the developmental phases of the Belfast Implementation Project (BIP). The BIP is located approximately 8 km to the south of Belfast town in the Mpumalanga province (Figure ‎1 1), with the proposed plant site located within Portions 6, 7, 9 and 10 of the Farm Blyvooruitzicht 383 JT (newly consolidated Portion 23 Blyvooruitzicht 383 JT). One of the consequences of the proposed mining development is the need to resettle a small community that currently resides within the mining site. The resettlement site, which will be donated by Exxaro to the affected community, which has been identified is Zoekop Farm 426 JS Portion 13, Leeuwbank Farm 427 JS Portion 13 and Paardeplaats Farm 425 JS Portion R. The proposed project will consist of a residential component with 32 x 2500 m2 plots. The remainder of the site will be left undeveloped and can be used for grazing and other potential agricultural uses as may be required by the community to be resettled. The intention is to reserve 500 m2 per plot for residential and outside buildings with the remaining 2000 m2 for small-scale food production in the form of a combination of poultry, trees, dryland cropping and a homestead vegetable garden. Water for the households will be obtained from a borehole/s that is located north-west of the proposed property. One community facility which includes a church is also being proposed on an additional stand.
