ProposalDescription: 

SECTION 34(1) PERMIT APPLICATION FOR “MOSALA HOUSE” SITUATED ON THE FARM GAMAGARA NO 541 PORTION 2/12, DINGLETON, KUMBA IRON ORE MINE, IN THE GAMAGARA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY, JOHN TAOLO GAETSEWE DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY, NORTHERN CAPE. DINGLETON RESETTLEMENT PROJECT SAHRIS CaseID: 4320

Expanded_Motivation: 

The permit application forms part of the Dingleton Resettlement Project, SAHRIS CaseID: 4320. The farmhouse, known as the “Mosala House”, is situated on the Farm Gamagara No 541 Portion 2/12, Dingleton, Kumba Iron Ore (Sishen) Mine, in the Gamagara Local Municipality, John Taolo Gaetsewe District Municipality, Northern Cape. The structure is earmarked for demolition as the house falls within the blast buffer zone of the new mine expansion, creating a safety issue. To this end, the town of Dingleton has been relocating to Kathu since 2014. The inhabitants of “Mosala House” are some of the last people from the blast buffer zone to be relocated. The house was not included in the original permit applications of 2014 (Becker 2014). However, the permit motivation did include a photo of the house; it lies beyond Dingleton’s town boundaries. The house does not have any historical, cultural, or technological significance. However, aerial photographs dating to 1957 captured the structure during the flight in August. Therefore, the structure is definitively older than 60 years, triggering Section 34(1) of the NHRA 25 of 1999. See attached expanded motivation document and HIA for more information.
