Samuel Nkosi* uses a plot of land next to a mine where he has began farming vegetables which he donates to the church in Witbank, Emalahleni, South Africa, on November 28, 2023.
Just nineteen months ago the High Court in Pretoria confirmed a judgement in what was called the Deadly Air Case, that the poor air quality over the Highveld Priority Area is a breach of residents’ section 24(a) constitutional right to an environment that is not harmful to their health and well-being.
