Dear Portfolio Committee on Mineral Resources and Energy,
I Reside in the area of Reivilo Greater Taung Municipality Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District North Province.I sincerely urge PARLIAMENT to investigate Matayo Trading 7 (Pty) Ltd(MATAYO DIAMOND MINE) Which has been operating since 2015 in Reivilo North West .THE MINE IS CURRENTLY NOT IN OPERATIONS THEY OPERATE PERIODICAL AND VANISHES. The mine plays no role in transformation and economic development of our town REIVILO including SKILLS AND EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT for local community. They did not have any Infrastructure development and poverty eradication projects in our area Reivilo since operations.This mine operates as a SMALL SCALE MINING.The Mine has not provide any SOCIAL AND LABOUR PLANS ( SLP) THEY RECENTLY ALLOWED ANOTHER COMPANY TO OPERATE WITHIN THE MINE WHICH I QUESTIONS IF THIS WAS DONE LEGALLY UNDER MPRDA ACT OF 2002 BY TRANSFERRING THEIR MINERAL RIGHTS TO THIS COMPANY known as CML but on their invoice known as (BLACK - SUNSET TRADING AND) to mine FROM NOVEMBER 2021 TO MARCH 2022.THEIR OPERATIONS ARE QUESTIONABLE AND NEEDS SERIOUS INVESTIGATION. I urge the PARLIAMENT to question their MINING LICENSE PERMIT, WATER LICENSES PERMIT, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT PLAN ,SOCIAL AND LABOUR PLANS.
