Dr Victor Munnik, Associate Researcher in the Society, Work and Development Institute (SWOP) at Wits will deliver this presentation.
Mining and mineral beneficiation is often held up as the path to economic development in South Africa. Yet these processes are brutally disruptive for environments and communities.
In this presentation Munnik demonstrates this in relation to the impact of Arcelor Mittal on Steel Valley and points to the mobilizing power of the discourse of environmental justice. This presentation is hosted by SWOP.
