As the concluding event for the NRF/NWO funded research project, MineLives, this symposium brings together researchers and community workers involved in the Vhembe District of Limpopo and neighbouring areas.

It explores conflicts and symbioses between the past, present and proposed mining in the region, the Just Transition and bio-economy strategies, and indigenous knowledge. Keynotes by Kennedy Manduna (Rosa Luxembourg scholar), Mphatheleni Makaulule (Dzomo la Mupo), and Michael Solomon (UCT). Registration is essential.
