EMG's focussed work on mining and environmental justice issues came to an
end in 2002 with the wrap-up of government's public participation process
into the drafting of the Mining and Minerals Act, and with the hand-over of
EMG's mining project activities in Witbank to the locally-based SA Green
Revolutionary Council.
