We have been living here for the last 20 years ... Tharisa Minerals opened across the N4 Highway & have destroyed our peace of mind, peace & quiet, health, animals & home itself! If we can help stop it from extending to another area ... WE WILL!!! The mining companies all promise to toe the line & not destroy anything ... yet they do!Joslyn Geldenhuys (Buffelspoort, 2019-12-14)

My daughter has spent time here with local families and really saw the benefits of having a beautiful place for the community to relax and play together. You need to keep places like this not just for the community now but for generations to come. Once you have destroyed it there is no reversing it, you need think about the consequences.Ian Haywood (Maidenhead , 2019-12-15)
