250918006452 - Renewal of ECC for continued operation of Sand Mining Operations on Portion A/988 of Tsandi Town and Townlands

Tsandi Village Council has for years been conducting sand mining activities on Portion A of Tsandi town and townlands No. 988. The sand mining activities are done through an opencast mechanized mining project to excavate sand in its existing form for direct usage as a construction material for infrastructure development. The removed/mined out sand will be loaded directly into the truck/dumper and sent to buyers. The proponent was issued with an ECC in 2022 and had expired in July 2025. Tsandi Village Council intend to continue with the ongoing sand mining activities. To ensure due diligence and compliance with the Environmental Management Act 07 of 2007 and its Regulations of February the proponent intends to apply for the renewal of the ECC.
