Case Type: 

ProposalDescription: 

Exhumation and relocation of thirty-four informal graves, twelve of which have been identified by family (and are younger than 60 years) and twenty- two which are unknown (and possibly older than 60 years). The graves will be relocated as part of the Resettlement of the entire town of Dingleton (formally known as Sishen) to a site on the South Eastern side of Kathu.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The graves will be relocated as part of the Resettlement of the entire town of Dingleton (formally known as Sishen) to a site on the South Eastern side of Kathu. The Sishen Iron Ore Company proposes to resettle the residents of the town of Dingleton, situated immediately west of the current Sishen Iron Ore Mine (Sishen Mine) pit, to the Phase 4 (f-h) development on the farm Sekgame 461 directly south-east of Kathu. The resettlement of the Dingleton residents is not only necessary to improve their living conditions (including health, safety, general service delivery), but is also integral to the continued economic viability of Sishen Mine. The Sishen Mine Environmental Management Programme Report (EMPR), as approved by DME in 2002, indicates that the opencast mine pit will progress westwards, impacting upon the 500 m buffer zone between the town of Dingleton and the Sishen Mine pit. The pit expansion will therefore require the demolition / decommissioning of Dingleton Town (including structures and buildings such as houses, churches, shops, tar roads, a petrol station, the sewerage treatment works, this informal graveyard, etc) and the old Sishen Mine South Plant area.
