Description

This bonus episode of the We Should Be Writing podcast explores the very present climate crisis and the impact this crisis has on commerce, the environment and people. The host, Tannur Anders, defines “climate change” and considers how South Africa, home to 80% of global platinum group metals (PGMs) reserves, can aid in mitigating this crisis.

Legal and mining experts chip in to explain that the PGMs industry poses potential threats to the environment and communities living near platinum mines. Gilbert Moela, a local of the Monametse Village in Limpopo, shares his experience of what life is actually like, living just one kilometre from the Bokoni Platinum Mine.
