Minister launches long-term acid mine water solution

Water and Sanitation Minister Nomvula Mokonyane on Wednesday launched a long-term project to turn acid mine drainage (AMD) into safe water for commercial use as either industrial or potable water after the removal of sulphates. The Minister chose the old south-west vertical shaft area of the dormant East Rand Proprietary Mines (ERPM) to launch the long-term plan.
