"There are further prayers that the prospecting rights be awarded to the first applicant by the court, alternatively that the matter be referred back to the Department with a direction that the rights are to be awarded to the first applicant."

The Con court did neither of those things and only sent it back to the DMR to review with no directives. I except the Bengwenyama-Ye-Maswazi Tribe are the owners of Nooitverwacht but its a divided community.

It's interesting to note that Genorah approached the Bengwenyama-Ye-Maswazi Tribal in Feb 06.
If they had no claim, why go to them. Agree with you here Kiwi thats why they didnt go to them for Eerstegeluk and the same arguement can be used against Bengwenyama-Ye-Maswazi with regards to Eerstegeluk, why apply for a land claim after your application if it was already yours

"We submitted an application for prospecting on three farms including Nooitverwacht 324 KT." Extract from letter to Genorah from Kgoshi on 13 March 2006

You big fibber Kgoshi, you didnt submit a application till two months later and wonder which was the third farm

"The Community pursued its own application for prospecting rights through Bengwenyama Minerals. On 10 May 2006, Bengwenyama Minerals addressed a letter to the Department titled ?Application for Prospecting Permit.?"



"On 20 February 2006 the Department informed Genorah that its application had been accepted"


"On 15 September 2006 the final investment agreement was concluded. On the next day, the Kgoshi of the Community wrote a letter to the Department stating his concurrence and approval of Bengwenyama Minerals acting as a ?black empowered enterprise on behalf of the Community."


Kiwi those two paragraphs was in my opinion was were Genorahs arguement was based as the Bengwenyama Minerals application only become a community 104 application on the 15 Semptember 2006 well over the required 180 days to challenge Genorahs over superior rights. Before that it was just a normal application by Bengwenyama Minerals in which Genorah had applied first.

Same date 15 Semptember 2006
"He expressed surprise that during the process of the Community?s application they were informed of other applications and recorded their objection to them"

Fibbing again Kgoshi "surprised"? back on the 13th of March you wished Genorah goodluck and now your suprised

"Bengwenyama-ya-Maswati has an interest in the Property you applied for. We submitted an application for prospecting on three farms including Nooitverwacht 324 KT.
The good luck wished to ourselves and other companies in an attempt of getting similar rights are also wished to your Company.?
