Mantashe considers scrapping MPRD
--:--
Mineral Resources Minister, Gwede Mantashe is planning to withdraw the Mineral Resources Development Amendment Bill which has been the subject of legal process since 2013. The Minister says that the withdrawal will allow the mining industry to be governed by the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act in its present form whereas the petroleum sectors needs could be addressed in a dedicated, directly targeted legislative framework for that sector.
