The Musina-Makhado Special Economic Zone threatens the heart of Limpopo.

Musina-Makhado Special Economic Zone (MMSEZ) Threatens the Heart of Limpopo, South Africa

“If Mupo (all of nature, including the cosmos) is going to be contaminated in this way, the Creator and our Ancestor spirits will forsake us. The damaging impact will be irrevocable.” - Wemoon (Makhadzi) Vho Mphatheleni Makaulule, Dzomo La Mupo (The Voice of Mupo).

It is estimated that the proposed Musina-Makhado Special Economic Zone will:
remove 100 000 protected indigenous trees
consume 250 million litres of water per day
burn 15 000 tons of coal per day at the power station
produce 115 tons of hazardous and industrial waste per day
emit 34 million tons of greenhouse gases per year
exceed national air quality limits by releasing dangerous air pollutants such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide.

The destructive consequences of the proposed Musina-Makhado Economic Zone are irreversible, and outweigh short-term development goals that are unsustainable.

Demand a just transition towards sustainable economic development practices.
