Yet another fracking ruling victory for KZN farmers
KwaZulu-Natal farmers and landowners are once again celebrating a fracking ruling victory, this time in the Midlands region of the province, following a court order interdicting the Minister of Mineral Resources from issuing mining exploration rights to Rhino Oil & Gas Exploration (Pty) Ltd.
The interdict, which was issued by the Pretoria High Court on 19 May 2017, follows the recent ruling against the South African Agency for Promotion of Petroleum and Exploitation (PASA), The Minister of Mineral Resources and Rhino Oil and Gas Exploration South Africa (Pty) Ltd on an application for exploration rights on more than 800 000ha’s in Northern KwaZulu-Natal.
