Mining communities storm investment conference, call on Mantashe to address their grievances

Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe has again urged mining companies to help develop communities in which they operate. Speaking at the Mining Investment Conference in Rustenburg in the North West, Mantashe said mining companies must pool resources and inject the money into community projects, instead of just halls and sports fields. Meanwhile, a group of angry people stormed the conference yesterday to demand that local communities benefit from mining operations in the province. The group also demanded to talk to Mantashe, who eventually met with the protesters. He asked them to arrange a proper meeting in which they could talk about their grievances.
