Chairperson, I thank the hon Selau for the question. Yes, the NNR has been engaging with the local authorities, as well as the Department of Health. This relationship has been formalised by the co-operative agreement concluded, as provided for by section 6 of the National Nuclear Regulator Act, to give effect to the principles of co- operative governance.
We are satisfied that the NNR co-operates with other entities of state in order to ensure effective monitoring and control of nuclear hazards, while avoiding any duplication, because it is important that we understand what each arm is doing.
In relation to a specific municipal area, the NNR engaged with Mogale City Local Municipality on the need for the relocation of people residing in contaminated areas of Tudor Shaft. I should indicate here that it is the responsibility of the municipality to engage with the affected residents on the need for them to relocate. When we are expected to give a motivation as to why that community must be relocated, we as the Department of Energy will provide the necessary support, together with the NNR and other entities like Science and Technology, to make sure that we can convince the people to move away from those particular areas for their own safety.
