Update on public consultation for MPRDA public consultation - another phase next week by the looks of things.

This comment is concerning

"The MPRDA, however, could be getting itself into further legal tangles. As the NCOP's committee hears more public submissions it may feel inclined to introduce proposed amendments.
But these cannot be heard when the bill returns to the National Assembly for a second vote because it may only consider the "substantive" concerns raised by the President, and not procedural matters like lack of citizen participation.

This is why law-makers are suggesting that the MPRDA be returned to the drawing board. It was one of the first concerns raised by the CER when it opened the Select Committee's public hearings."

and looks like here will be an announcement on the Mining Charter today (SA time)
