Australia: High Court orders mining co. to seek consent from Xolobeni community prior to granting mining rights

"High Court rules in favour of Xolobeni community in historic mining rights case", 22 November 2018

The minister of mineral resources will have to obtain full and formal consent from the Xolobeni community prior to granting mining rights, the Pretoria High Court ordered....

...Transworld Energy and Mineral Resources (TEM)...filed an application for rights to mine the titanium-rich sands at the Umgungundlovu area of Xolobeni on the Wild Coast.

In her judgment, Judge Annali Basson declared that the mineral resources minister must obtain consent from the community, as the holder of rights on land, prior to granting any mining right to TEM.

In her conclusion, she stated that while the informal rights of customary communities were previously not protected by law, they now had the right to decide what happens with their land.

“As such they may not be deprived of their land without their consent,” said Basson in her judgment.
