Angloplatinum [part of Anglo American] intends to remove my ancestors’ graves and submerge my community’s sacred rain making pools under a dam. The community objects to this action as it will destroy our invaluable heritage, as well as destroy the foundations of our identity as the Gamawela community...The community...began its battle with Angloplatinum in 2002 when its first land claim on the farm St George was gazetted by the land claims commission...The community has now been informed by Angloplatinum that it is going to expropriate at least 100 hectares of its most valuable irrigable lands on the farm St George to build a dam, known as the Richmond Dam. This will undermine the livelihoods of the community in ways that are incalculable.
