In a South African first, a project funded by one of the country’s biggest coal mining companies has begun repopulating a river system with fish after a catastrophic spill from a disused coal mine.
The project is being financed by part of the roughly 1 billion rand ($52 million) provided by Thungela Resources Ltd., a company spun off by Anglo American Plc, for rehabilitation and securing disused mine shafts.
