We were impressed with Mrs. Mariette Liefferink of FSE, who gave a presentation on the situation in South Africa. The country has to deal with numerous issues that can be directly attributed to uranium mining. Among their number are dozens of unreclaimed mines, some 200 unrehablitated tailings dams, acid mine drainage wich is polluting the rivers and creeks, informal settlements right on the radioactive tailings, sinkholes from former mines and so forth.
