- On the 22nd of October 2020 unknown assailant gunned down community leader and environmental activist Fikile Ntshangase. Her life was taken in her home she passed away on the kitchen floor of her rural home, her grandchildren are said to have witnessed the brutal murder suspected to be a hit in the Mfolozi community in Mtubatuba. Tendele mining, which already operates a mine in this picturesque corner of the earth, wishes to expand its operations. An application for the expansion to a 222-km² area in Mpukunyoni, now on review by the court, requires the relocation of 21 families from their ancestral land. Claims of assaults, shootings, and death threats have been reported by families not willing to sign relocation agreements and compensation offers.
The community finds itself divided, while others are willing to relocate others are not, they accuse the mine of not operating within the country’s environmental laws and not consulting the community. Furthermore, Tendele is accused of having previously destroyed ancestral gravesites, homes, and grazing lands.

These people own the land, why pay them fir the value of the house instead of these people being incorporated into the ownership of the mine as they are the rightful owners of the land.
Gogo's house might be worth 450 000 but the land is worth more especially considering graves
the land might be worth millions, but remember south African corruption, I wouldn't also sell the land my ancestors are buried in finish no price can cap that.
Eish !! Naze nahlukumezeka bakithi
Lord have mercy
This is day rubbery through our fellow beloved black leaders whom we trusted so much😥.A very painful experience to our people. It makes me feel sad.I really feel for the people of that community. That municipality has failed its own people. There are so many coal mines in this country and therefore this coal mine is not needed if its going to put the lives of our people and live stock in this danger.
Has the community legally interdicted this mine?
It's hard being black and poor. 💔
Did That mine do Environmental Impact Assessment? The mine dust by nature is a hazard given its proximity to humans, animals and vegetation.
KHONGOLOSE wenu uyaninyisa straight, NAYI VOTELA and i know nisazoyi votela
basitshela ngezindlu ezinhle ezikhiwe abantu emva kokuthola imali kubo, abantu basemakhaya banezinto abazithandayo nabazithathela phezulu ..okungumhlaba nobuhle bawo without being disturbed kanye nemfuyo.......... lezisu ezinkulu zamakhosi WONKE nje futhi ngisho uZwelithini uqobo bathanda kakhulu imali bafana ncamashi nosopolitiki . into abantu bakithi okumele bayazi ukuthi amakhosi nosopolitiki abandendaba nabo kodwa banendaba nemali nje kwaphela
nase Eastern Cape bakhala esifanayo ngoba bafuna ukwakha ngenkani umgwaqo omukhulu ngenkani.......... ANC ifana nseke namabhunu futhi ke yona ize i worse ngoba abantu abamnyama
Those companies are committing criminal offences.
King IV states that organisations should uphold the triple bottom line (economy, society and environment). They haven't upheld societal and environmental aspects of business operations. The government should intervene and impose fines and penalties to the mine business!
This is appalling ppl are exposed to danger and lots of dieses unsafe in their land .Nathi Mkhize is selling his own ppl to d this bloody mines. It's unjustified.
lo Nathi wakhona usethengwe AMABHUNU, ubuka imali what about ukuhlukumezeka emotionally??? Ay cha imali impande yesono shem....
These people must refuse to be moved. Everyone that loves justice and fairness must join their struggle. It is them today,but tomorrow it will be all of us. We thought 'forced removals' ended with Apartheid but it is happening under this 'democratic ' government. In the name of money??!
The ANC government....ngyabonga mina!
Why this manager is so defending this mine like that while he can see those damages are done by this mine eishhh

Lo Dladla okhuluma lana ubabomncane wami ngqo, isihlukumezile le Mayini endaweni yakithi angifun ukungasho,.... ukukhohlakala okukubantu abamnyama ngaphakathi ku management okwenza yonke lento
As long as u still vote for ANC u still goner suffer
In general politics sucks it's all about power and money

Inkinga enkulu politicians ayayazi lento ebhekene nalabantu kodwa ngoba kukhona imali eya kuwo emaphaketheni AJIKELA UMUNTU OMNYAMA
kunzima madoda and inkulu impi ela eSouth Africa
Somkhele is a liar shame ,,,, kodwa your day will come one day,,,,, ukhohlakele shame
A sad reality is that, A day never comes for people like this.
Pure evil and greedy. I'm sure they have been paid something....
