South Africa could face a food crisis if water pollution from mining in Mpumalanga is not addressed soon.

Grain SA says the mining industry does not respect the laws of the land.


Mpumalanga is responsible for a vast part of the country’s food supply.


The new chairperson for Grain SA Louw Steytler says food security could be badly affected if mining companies do not bring water pollution under control.
