I'm signing this as an owner of a unit in the Longbeach in the town of Mtwalume. The mining is ecologically disastrous and is causing significant distress to myself and neighbours and other residents of this town. Significantly the poorest are least able to mitigate against the health risks this mining is causing.

Yeah,as i was driving i experienced a huge gust of dry sand being blown from this site and it hit the car as though we were travelling in a sandstorm,that type of effect so how much more erosion is taking place every minute? Red sand does affect one health over a period of time and damages/stains everything when the rains fall.

I am against Sand Mining in Mtwalume as it poses a health and environmental risk. If this was legal, permission would have to be granted from residents in the area. This did not take place!

Clearly mining is going ahead without appropriate consideration for residents or the environment.

the mining will ruin what is a peaceful place for a break from the stress of city living. The residents should not have to put up with the red dust, the lorries, and the invasion of their right to a decent environment.
