Mzuzu Auction Floors officially opened Wednesday morning with farmers expressing dissatisfaction as well as disappointment over prices offered for their...
Are there any standards set by the government regarding the maximum contaminant level that Paladin is allowed to discharge into the river? If not, how is the government going to monitor or determine whether or not the company is discharging the treated wastewater at a quality that does not compromise environmental health? The Ministry of Energy and Mines should not do these things single-handedly. There is need for collaboration between this ministry and the Ministry of Health so that we don’t put the people’s lives at risk.
i see there is a lot of misunderstanding on this matter from certain circles who believe that they are well informed. Knowing about Israel or Califonian exploits is what used to make me a “dolo/Anjiba/Katakwe” when growing up. Later on i realised that head knowledge about issues is stupid – thats why u have poor professors. What we need to focus on is the question whether your so called technologically advanced Kayerekera treatments system meets the standard. I for one will confidently tell you that the CSO staff can easy tick certain boxes on the test chart – does this… Read more »
Walker should be asked if he can drink the water , simple … asah sukulu yake yiti ?
Do u know that there are plans to treat bad ocean water for drinking purposes in California because of drought? Israel also does it I think. And so does the UAE. My point is there are technologies out there for treating water to different kinds of standards, some maybe expensive but they still treat the water and make it safe. Google desal / desalination plants. It’s all applied science and Paladin is doing such advanced stuff in Malawi. This could probably be the most advanced water treatment system in Malawi and some stupid people are tying to stop it so… Read more »
Why don’t you reporters and your greedy CSOs (who don’t have the welfare of Malawians at heart but are only making noise to fill up their pockets) say anything about all those industries that are really destroying the environment in Blantyre? Just take a look at midi river. I think we have companies that do not follow Malawi standards for discharge of effluents in the environment laughing their way to the bank everyday because these so called CSOs don’t really care about the nation. Stop focusing on Paladin, they are a technically sound company who are subject to stringent international… Read more »
Search for world nuclear association on google. You can also visit the documents and publications web page of the IAEA. These are reputable organisations and have lots of information on radiation safety including that for uranium mining.
Are you aware that sewage water can be treated and be safe for drinking? Are you aware that many industries dispose water into the rivers after treatment here in Malawi? What matters is to ask yourself if this treated water can be safe. You C SO’s why don’t you become part of monitoring team as observers of every process for you to confirm whether this water is safe or not. If you want industries you can not do without releasing the wastes but before this waste is released to the rivers it has to be treated first and that’s what… Read more »
Kodi tidzingomva za kayelekela?bwanji anthu amenewa angochokako kumeneko kusiyana ndikuti awononge chilengedwe
Let Greg Walker drink that water if he feels it is safe. He never even spends a single night in the mine area where he accommodates Malawians
What else do you expect from from Water Resources Board.Kayelekera Mine provide huge amounts of allowances (34,000 per night ) to these big headed officers including fuel from Lilongwe to Kayerekera and back,not forgeting breakfast and lunch and you expect them to go against the wishes of kayerekera.I totally agree with you Vinjeru,instead of the so called water resources board to involved internationally recognised labs in certifying whether the waste water is indeed free from uraniun or not,they have done nothing of sort…….why….they are benefiting from it.
