Economic Justice Network to host 4th Alternative Mining Indaba

In today's show, we spoke to Mandla Hadebe - From the Economic Justice Network to tell us more about the 4^th Alternative Mining Indaba that’s taking place next week in Cape Town. The Indaba will raise issues about poverty of communities adjacent to mining activities, the lack of adequate job creation, and the environmental impact of mining activities on these communities as well as generally sustainability after mining operations end. It also hopes to reflect on what actually caused the unrest and ultimately the strife in the mines preceding the Marikana Massacre. The event’s happening from next week from the 3^rd of February till the 5^th, 2013 at the Strand Towers Hotel. For further information you can contact (021) 424 9563 or visit www.ejn.org.za
