Looking ahead

Murowa Diamonds Private Limited (MDPL) will manage dust, noise, emissions and other environmental impacts to the highest standards and will ensure that the community has access to relevant information. Similarly, the health and safety standards set will be of the highest standards and the company will ensure that the rights of the surrounding community are protected and that relevant information is available through the consultation process.

The company will continue to respect the traditional and cultural values of the community and, through commute rosters and internal codes of conduct, will minimise potential for social and economic fragmentation. Employment policies will give preference to locals and ensure that job opportunities do not result in an inflow of job seekers into the area.

The company's priorities include the development of secondary business and job opportunities in the area and this will lead to an inflow of externally provided services. The consultation process will be used to ensure that the primary benefit of these activities goes to the community and that the leadership and the people are allowed to maintaining their traditional lifestyles if they so wish.
