GAS HUNT: Farmers push back against Highveld gas-drilling exploration plan

Farmers in the Mpumalanga Highveld are resisting a plan to drill the area in search of gas. One farmer warned, ‘When the wetlands and pans have been polluted and nothing will grow here any more, it will be too late. No one will remember that some old man with white hair like me warned against this project… But someone needs to stand up, today, and say that this is wrong.’
