The King should order strict water irrigation control systems in place immediately😮
Most mining businnes across the world are just polluting n polluting, especially in developing countries
We need to organize a coup and drive these foreigners out with exploiting our country
If the government was responsible , they should have never decided to mine for diamonds! NOW the indigenous people of Botswana will starve and not have non-poisonous water to drink…the black man in charge is just as greedy as white man, he should make no deals with diamond greedy white man. May those who wear diamonds (the wealthy) get various 'syndromes' and rot in hell! The wildlife suffers as well! No water to drink while those benefit from these diamond mines.
You can't wish heavy metals away, it's too expensive. This needs to be stopped immediately, than suffer the environmental impact in a long run as a result of an industrial investment tody. The cost of salvaging and rehabilitating is far much greater thn the benefit that the privileged few derive today. SA has walked this journey, the effects of bad air quality in Witbank and Vanderbiljpark are still being felt today long after the heavy industry have shut down. This community must consider a CLASS LAWSUIT against the mining company.
Greedy people who don't care about citizens 😮
What's the water contaminated with? Diamond mining in kimberlite uses no chemicals. The rock is blasted from the kimberlite pipes and brought to the ore processing facility. The ore is then crushed and is xrayed to reveal any diamonds in the ore. The diamonds are separated from the waste rock. It's not like gold mining. You just crush the ore and the diamonds "fall" out. Kimberlite also absorbs a ton of CO2 making diamond mining having a positive impact on the environment. Once the mine is exhausted of ore the pit fills in with water and can be stocked with fish and used as drinking water.
How horrible, they should provide water purification for the people and the livestock!
The people need water purification, that's the least Mr Graff could do! He should do more for the country and for the people!
