Nearly 20,000 South Africans have been displaced by mining giant Anglo American in its search for platinum, a BBC File on 4 investigation has found. It was also shown evidence the UK-based firm had polluted water sources and scores of miners had been killed…Anglo American has said it is treating safety as a priority, is looking into the issue of contaminated water and that the majority of people "relocated" to make way for its mines agree to move. "In terms of resettlement our objective is to ensure that we at least leave the communities no worse off and our objective is to make them better off," Edward Bickham, Group Head of External Affairs, told File On 4.
