La miner\u00eda ha sido durante mucho tiempo una parte integral del desarrollo y el avance de la econom\u00eda de Sud\u00e1frica y ha contribuido, en gran medida, a convertirla en la m\u00e1s fuerte del continente africano. Como la segunda mayor fuente de ingresos del pa\u00eds, en t\u00e9rminos del valor de las ventas totales, despu\u00e9s del oro, el carb\u00f3n pro-porciona el 6,1% de las exportaciones totales de mercanc\u00edas del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n

Los proyectos de carb\u00f3n t\u00e9rmico est\u00e1n ubicados principalmente en la provincia de Mpumalanga, situada al noreste de Sud\u00e1frica, una regi\u00f3n tradicionalmente rica en carb\u00f3n. Por esta raz\u00f3n, ha atra\u00eddo a muchas grandes empresas mineras para establecer minas en esta \u00e1rea. El 83% de la cantidad total de carb\u00f3n producido en Sud\u00e1frica se extrae en Mpumalanga. El carb\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n se extrae en las provincias de Limpopo, Kwazulu-Natal y Free State y se concentra alrededor de las ciudades de Lephalale, Witbank, Ermelo y Secunda. Por otro lado, los proyectos de carb\u00f3n de coque se ubican sobre todo en la provincia de Limpopo, en el norte de Sud\u00e1frica, una regi\u00f3n en la que en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os ha aumentado la exploraci\u00f3n y el desarrollo de las minas Vele y el proyecto de Makhado (propiedad de Coal of Africa Limited). El \u00e1rea tiene infraestructura vial y ferroviaria que proporciona acceso a instalaciones de exportaci\u00f3n a lo largo de la costa este de \u00c1frica del Sur.<\/p>\n

Las violaciones de derechos humanos repiten en Sud\u00e1frica. Falta de informaci\u00f3n a las comunidades locales, desplazamientos sin compensaci\u00f3n, persecuci\u00f3n y da\u00f1os ambientales con afecciones directas en la salud de los habitantes. En la regi\u00f3n de Limpopo el uso del agua en la cuenca del r\u00edo Olifants ha aumentado dram\u00e1ticamente en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os debido a la extracci\u00f3n de carb\u00f3n para la producci\u00f3n de electricidad lo que ha tenido considerables impactos en la salud humana, derivados de la contaminaci\u00f3n y la escasez de agua y la contaminaci\u00f3n del aire y la tierra. En este caso la empresa SLP no acomete<\/a> las medidas para el tratamiento del agua.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":22529,"parent":22407,"menu_order":6,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22528","post_profundidad","type-post_profundidad","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cambio-climatico"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSUD\u00c1FRICA | El r\u00edo baja sucio - ES | Greenpeace Espa\u00f1a<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/es.greenpeace.org\/es\/en-profundidad\/las-heridas-del-carbon\/sudafrica-el-rio-baja-sucio\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_ES\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"SUD\u00c1FRICA | El r\u00edo baja sucio - ES | Greenpeace Espa\u00f1a\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"La miner\u00eda ha sido durante mucho tiempo una parte integral del desarrollo y el avance de la econom\u00eda de Sud\u00e1frica y ha contribuido, en gran medida, a convertirla en la m\u00e1s fuerte del continente africano.
