Brenden, you're not dreaming, check out MPRDA s.104(2)d

Preferent prospecting or mining right in respect of communities

104. (2) The Minister must grant such preferent right if the community can prove that-
(a) the right shall be used to contribute towards the development and the social upliftment of the community concerned;
(b) the community submits a development plan, indicating the manner in which such right is going to be exercised;
(c) the envisaged benefits of the prospecting or mining project will accrue to the community in question; and
(d) the community has access to technical and financial resources to exercise such Right

Also, under the "Definitions" section of the Act,

"community" means a coherent, social group of persons with interests or rights in a particular area of land which the members have or exercise communally in terms of an agreement, custom or law.

Sounds like the B tribe don't fit into the definition of "community" if you ask me.
