QUESTION 1
Description and Context of the Local Environmental Problem (150 words)
ANSWER:
Mining activities in the Mbhashe Local Municipality of Eastern Cape have resulted in severe
environmental degradation. The region, rich in mineral resources, has attracted both formal and
informal mining operations. These activities involve extensive deforestation, leading to loss of
vegetation and soil erosion. The use of heavy machinery and chemicals in mining processes further
contaminates soil and water sources, disrupting local ecosystems. The local communities, largely
dependent on agriculture and fishing, face declining crop yields and polluted water, impacting their
livelihoods and health. Additionally, the destruction of natural habitats threatens local biodiversity,
including various plant and animal species. The socio-economic fabric of the region is deeply
intertwined with its natural environment, making the negative impacts of mining acutely felt by the
inhabitants.
