This video explores the fascinating journey of South African mining law, from its Roman-Dutch common law roots to the modern Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA).
We trace how landowners once held absolute rights over minerals beneath their land, how colonial and Union governments gradually imposed reservations and controls, and how the Minerals Act of 1991 paved the way for the State to become the full custodian of the nation’s mineral wealth in 2002.
Along the way, we highlight key cases and statutes that shaped the law:
• De Villiers v Cape Divisional Council (1874)
• Turffontein Estates Ltd v Mining Commissioner (1917 AD)
• Geduld Proprietary Mines Ltd v Government Mining Engineer (1932 AD)
• Save the Vaal Environment v Director of Mineral Development (1999)
• Holcim (South Africa) Ltd v Prudent Investors (2010)
This is the story of how mining law transformed — and how landowners’ rights gave way to the State’s custodianship in the national interest.
