Xolobeni anti-mining struggle

For a decade, the Xolobeni community on the Wild Coast has fought a proposed mining operation by an Australian company on their ancestral land.

Their struggle has involved threats, intimidation, and violence that culminated last month in the assassination of Sikhosiphi ‘Bazooka” Rhadebe, the chair of the Amadiba Crisis Committee, the body elected by the community in 2007 to represent them in their struggle against the proposed mining operation.
