Section 28 of the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) is one of the most powerful tools in South Africa’s environmental law. It imposes a broad duty of care on every person — individuals, companies, municipalities, and state-owned enterprises — to prevent, minimise, and remediate environmental harm.
In this video, we break down:
✅ Who is covered under Section 28 (owners, controllers, and users of land)
✅ The duty of care: preventative and remedial obligations
✅ How liability extends beyond the active polluter
✅ Enforcement tools and directives from the state
✅ Cost recovery and financial consequences of non-compliance
✅ Practical powers like expropriation for remediation
✅ The polluter pays principle in action
We also explore landmark South African cases that explain and enforce Section 28, including:
⚖️ BP Southern Africa v MEC for Agriculture (2004)
⚖️ HTF Developers v MEC for Agriculture, KZN (2008)
⚖️ Earthlife Africa Johannesburg v Minister of Environmental Affairs (2017)
This is essential knowledge for law students, environmental practitioners, policymakers, and anyone interested in how South Africa protects its environment.
