spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/7971 A social and economic impact assessment of the South African mineral and petroleum resources development act on the small-scale diamond mining sector Terlien, Damien Dewar, Neil Environmental and Geographical Science Includes bibliographical references. The small-scale mining (SSM) sector in South Africa has been overshadowed by the wealth generating capacity of the formal mining industry. To address the disparity between the SSM sector and the large formal mining industry, a number of government initiatives have been introduced, the latest being the preparation of the Minerals and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28, which was finalized in October 2002. The Act, which has not yet been implemented, is expected to redress some of the sector's current obstacles. Two case studies conducted in the Northern Cape and North West Provinces, provided the basis for this social impact assessment (SIA). The aim of these studies was to identfy the most serious issues faced by the SSM sector and to assess the likely socio-econiomic impacts of the Act. 2014-10-02T13:18:37Z 2014-10-02T13:18:37Z 2004 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/7971 eng application/pdf Department of Environmental and Geographical Science Faculty of Science University of Cape Town
