Surf spots on the west coast are getting fucked up by Australian mining. On 19 April 2021, a group of activists from the environmental group Protect The West Coast (PTWC) conducted a peaceful protest to challenge the mining of beach54
es at the Tormin mine near Brand se Baai on the Cape West Coast. They also handedover a ‘Memorandum of Grievances’ to a representative of the mining company operating the Tormin mine, Australian-owned Mineral Sands Resources (MSR). About a dozen members of the Cape Town based not-for-profit company took part, while others participated in a 102-km trail run through the affected coastal area.
